This work addresses two problems of distributed software development projects: Inconsistencies between related artifacts such as documents and models and inefficient collaboration of distributed project participants. In particular informal communication is reduced and project knowledge gets lost. We claim that a consistent representation, supporting a unified data model for all documents and models including collaboration artifacts, helps to overcome these problems. As all artifacts are represented in one unified model, it is possible to implicitly capture dependency traces, which support...
