A textual specification gives clarification of the software system needs between a customer, a user, a domain expert, and an analyst. It is common practice to write requirements specifications in natural language. However, natural language is prone to a number of inaccuracies, such as ambiguity, inconsistency, and incompleteness.
We use the methods of grammatical inspection to identify patterns capable of extract information from the text (Text Mining). Our tool TEMOS (TExtual MOdelling System), using these patterns, on-line dictionaries (e.g., Wordnik), and semantic networks (e.g., ConceptNet, BabelNet), provides the following features: detecting sentences suspected of ambiguity or incompleteness, providing and maintaining a glossary of terms, generating a fragment of static UML Class Diagram, exporting the model in formats XMI, ECORE, or DOT.
