Abstract
This paper proposes the adoption of a goal-based method called GBRAM for facilitating the process of building taxonomies of COTS components. Since GBRAM was defined in a different setting, the main result of the paper is to adapt it to this new context obtaining the GBTCM method. We show how the different activities and artifacts of GBRAM change, and we apply the proposal to obtain a taxonomy for requirements engineering oriented tools.
