چکیده

In this paper, we provide a linguistic analysis and an implementation of the discourse structure of safety requirements within the framework of the discourse semantics platform. The main structures are introduced and a detailed evaluation is carried out. Understanding the contents of requirements is a major objective to be able to automatically organize them, develop traceability, explore overlaps or various types of contradictions, extract their scope and themes, explore semantic and dependency relations between requirements, etc. Even if requirements follow in some context precise authoring recommendations, they often have a complex language structure, with a large diversity of expression modes and nuances. This is in particular the case for a subclass of requirements: safety requirements that include public safety regulations as well as business rules. Discourse analysis allows the recognition of the backbone of a requirement: how it is organized (in the case of safety requirements: context, conditions, warnings and hints, actions to realize, expectations, goals, etc.). Then, a semantic analysis of the contents of each structure allows to get a more precise information. This article explores the discourse analysis of requirements within the context of the LELIE project which is briefly presented below.
