Data Based Analysis of Requirements in Product Development Represented in Graph Based Semantic Requirement Nets

Abstract

This paper systematically describes how the dependencies of natural language requirements can be implemented using a data based approach. A basis for further validation is conceptualized. In a short introduction and motivation, it is described that the need for a cross-system interconnection of individual requirements from different stakeholders can be met with data based methods. The methodology of automating the cross-linking as well as the representation of the interdependent requirements are described in the context of graph-based methods and generative large language models. Finally, an abstraction of the pipeline result is exemplified. This paper describes the basis for a methodology, which will be detailed in future work.
