We propose a software requirements analysis method based on domain ontology
technique, where we can establish a mapping between a software requirements
specification and the domain ontology that represents semantic components.
Our ontology system consists of a thesaurus and inference rules and the
thesaurus part comprises domain specific concepts and relationships suitable
for semantic processing.
It allows requirements engineers to analyze a requirements specification with
respect to the semantics of the application domain.
More concretely, we demonstrate following three kinds of semantic processing
through a case study, (1) detecting incompleteness and inconsistency included
in a requirements specification, (2) measuring the quality of a specification
with respect to its meaning and (3) predicting requirements changes based on
semantic analysis on a change history.
