The present disclosure describes methods, systems, and computer program products for semantically analyzing modeled objects. One method includes identifying an object model created in a distributed development system for semantic analysis, where the distributed development system is associated with a software platform. The identified object model is then semantically analyzed based on a predetermined algorithm. A set of at least one pre-existing object models associated with the software platform is compared to the semantically analyzed object model, and a level of semantic overlap between the semantically analyzed object model and each of the set of at least one pre-existing object models is determined. In some instances, the predetermined algorithm may be selected based on and correspond to the object model type of the identified object model. The set of at least one pre-existing object models may comprise a subset of pre-existing object models available in a development system or associated with a software platform.
