About the approach

• ontology-based formalization of architecture language and architecture rules

• using reasoning services built-upon description logics and the semantic web, architecture rules can be validated against source code in order to detect architecture violations

The table below lists the repositories of the CNL project.

Table 1. List of repositories

CNL Toolchain	Combines all the components to a tool chain for performing conformance checking	https://github.com/sandrellaella/cnl-toolchain
architecture-cnl	grammar of the CNL and generation of OWL axioms	https://github.com/sandrellaella/architecture-cnl
owlify	Several generators for transforming software artefacts into an ontology-based representation	https://github.com/sandrellaella/owlify
cnl-common	Common data types for the CNL tool chain	https://github.com/sandrellaella/cnl-common
cnl-verify	Component that performs the actual conformance checking.	https://github.com/sandrellaella/cnl-verify
cnl-documentation	Integrates CNL in well-known architecture documentation templates in an asciidoc format, e.g. arc42 and architecture decision records (ADR).	https://github.com/sandrellaella/cnl-documentation
architecture-to-code-mapper	Maps the architecture concepts and relations to source code elements. Mapping rules are specified as SWRL rules. The mapping is performed using rule-based reasoning.	https://github.com/sandrellaella/architecture-to-code-mapper
stardog-connector	Connection to the Stardog Database where architectural rules and source code artefacts are stored and with which integrity constraints are validated .	https://github.com/sandrellaella/stardog-connector
