Abstract
Compatible with the recently proposed ontology of software maintenance, the paper proposes a fresh view of the types of software maintenance. The paper offers a classification based not on people´s intentions, but upon objective evidence of activities based on documentation that may include the source code. The classification includes taking into account evidence of: (1) changes in the character and use of the documentation, (2) changes in the properties of the software and (3) changes in the functionality of the software. The paper provides a hierarchic summary guide to the proposed fresh view of the types of software maintenance
