| Abstract: | Abstract—Requirements documents often describe the system
on different abstraction levels. This results in the fact that
the same issues may be described in different documents and
with different vocabulary. For analysts who are new to the
application domain, this poses a major orientation problem,
as they cannot link different concepts or documents with each
other.
In the presented paper, we propose an approach to map
concepts extracted from different documents to each other.
This, in turn, allows us to find related passages in different
documents, even though the documents represent different
levels of abstraction. Practical applicability of the approach
was proven in a case study with real-world requirements
documents. |
