The SEBoK version 0.75 review process is intended to provide the SE community an opportunity to comment on the approach, provide feedback on current draft content, provide feedback on the wiki format, and make recommendations about future content and wiki features. The author team recommends that all reviewers read Part 1: SEBoK 0.75 Introduction including the complete set of Part 1 articles, which provide the context for the rest of the materials. In addition, reviewers are encouraged to review the materials most relevant to their current roles or interests.

What You Will Find in the SEBoK

The SEBoK is a collection of several different types of articles, which are organized around central themes. There are three different articles types:

  • Content Articles - these are the articles that comprise the main body of the SEBoK (please see Structure of the SEBoK for an explanation of the organization or SEBoK Table of Contents for the full table of contents);
  • Glossary Articles - each glossary term has its own article, which is intended to provide a place for definition, definition sources, and discussion that reflects the state of practice for using this term in the community; and
  • Primary Reference Articles - each primary reference (or reference identified as critically important) has it's own article, which provides the full bibliographic information for that source, lists the article(s) which consider the source a primary reference, and provides discussion on why the source is important for each of these articles.

For every article in the wiki, reviewers have an opportunity to provide feedback using the forum feature (DISQUS) located at the bottom of the page. Below are a series of screen shots showing the navigation features of the wiki, the different types of wiki articles and what the review features look like. (Please see Note to Reviewers for more information on reviewing SEBoK 0.75.)

Left-Hand Menu and Search Features

For SEBoK 0.75, the author team has added expanding/collapsing menus, which reviewers may use as an additional means to navigate the SEBoK. As with SEBok 0.5, there is also an embedded search feature in the upper right hand corner of each page.
