Abstract

This report describes the process of harvesting and maturing a
component into a white-box framework, followed by the successful reuse
of the framework in another context. The framework can be used to
implement search within any domain. The report is a follow-up report
on another COT report [COT/3-20], which describes initial domain
analysis, design, and implementation of the component. Familiarity
with [COT/3-20] is an advantage, but not a necessity. 

The report describes the work process and its products, followed by a
categorisation of the problems encountered, and ends a summation of
key experiences, conclusions, and lessons learned.
