Abstract
Developing Software Product Lines (SPLs) is a paradigm oriented to reusing software within particular domains. Key aspects within this paradigm are the inherent particularities of these domains and the techniques applied to systematize the ways to maximize reuse. In this article, we describe a process for creating SPLs by reusing through domain hierarchies, starting from the geographical domain and going deeper into the paleontological sub-domain. In particular, our process is based on standardizations and previous techniques already applied to another geographical sub-domain, which is marine ecology. Here we show how these techniques are applied in the paleontological sub-domain, improving the systematic reuse of software artifacts.
