In this extended abstract, we present a number of research challenges related to comprehending the purpose of source code utilizing API classifications. We demonstrate preliminary work on applying Maven metadata (e.g., MCR categories) to different scopes in source code and detecting implications between combined usage of APIs; we visualize results as colored treemaps.enAPItreemapclassificationresearch challengesUnderstanding the Purpose of Source-Code Scopes Based on API ClassificationsText/Conference Paper
