It is an important and stimulating issue to discover the inconsistency and incompleteness of the large software system through the UML diagrams. However, the use of temporal logic and model checking techniques to address the problem of UML consistency for developing software systems has received much attention. It is still not applicable and hard mission to specify the different consistency issues of UML. In this paper, we address this problem. We investigate the use of a recent natural language processing technique called Text Semantic Similarity, or Textual Entailment, to improve the consistency and the completeness among various UML diagram.
