Software development is a complex task. One of the biggest challenges of Software Engineering is to produce software satisfying restrictions as time, cost, and quality. Software Engineering Environments (SEEs) try to provide a collection of tools, methods, and techniques to support the software engineer in this task. To offer a more effective support, in the last years, the introduction and management of knowledge in SEEs became indispensable. SEEs have been incorporating several types of knowledge, including software engineering, application domains, and organizational knowledge. During SEEs evolution, the need for the application of semantics becomes more and more evident, given characteristics such as the complex nature of Software Engineering, the integration premise of SEEs, and the great amount of information they store. In this context, ontologies and inference machines are key technologies to allow more adequate knowledge management and to provide a wider support to users. This work presents how ontologies have been used in ODE (Ontology-based software Development Environment), to make it a Semantic SEE (SSEE). For that, we developed a Software Organization Ontology to incorporate organizational knowledge to the environment. The work also proposes an infrastructure to provide semantic services based on ontological knowledge, aiming to facilitate and disseminate the use of semantics in ODE environment.
