Use Case Paths Model Revealing Through Natural Language Requirements Analysis.
Magda Ilieva · 2007
The approaches for extraction and representation of knowledge from textual user requirements could be summarized in two groups: i) when we have in mind an end model and seek, mine and represent knowledge for it. In short, this approach can be defined as “knowledge driven from a target model”; ii) when we have in mind knowledge in a text, and seek an appropriate model to represent it. The intermediate model obtained in this manner can be processed further, to achieve another kind of end model. We define this approach as “model driven from source knowledge”. This paper presents an approach of the second kind, for analyzing textual user requirements and extraction and representation of knowledge as a graphical requirement engineering (RE) model – Use Case Paths.
