Abstract

Since requirements analysts do not have sufficient knowledge on a problem domain, i.e. domain knowledge, the technique how to make up for lacks of domain knowledge is a key issue. This paper proposes the usage of a domain ontology as domain knowledge during requirements elicitation processes and the technique to create a domain ontology for a certain problem domain by using text-mining techniques.
