Abstract
Current work proposes a linguistic approach for supporting the identification of User requirements and Software Specifications. We introduce an NLP-based tool, PYTHIA, that serves as a search engine capable of handling software engineering terminology, aiming to close the loop between the end-user and the software developer. It is an ontology-based question answering system that employs semantic analysis as well as external (both generic use and domain-specific) dictionaries in order to handle term disambiguation, as posed in user defined queries.
