Abstract
Recently, the hardware description languages (HDL) are part
of the most of hardware design processes and the HDL
components are the main intellectual property (IP) of the
producers of IC's. The large companies have internal
databases and moreover whole code sub-versioning
repositories, but however the easiness of code reuse is still
quite low and there is almost no intelligence in the storage
systems. Contributing to the improvement of the hardware
design process, essentially based on the reuse of previously
written cores, and utilizing the Semantic Web technologies,
we propose a basic ontology for semantic annotation of
VHDL components, that also contains the most frequently
used component types and their "is-part-of"-dependencies,
providing a knowledge base for classification and automated
composition of predefined IP cores.
