Framework for using a Natural Language Approach to Object Identification

Object-oriented analysis and design has now become a major approach in the design of software system. This paper presents a method to automate natural language requirements analysis for object identification and generation based on the Parsed Use Case Descriptions (PUCDs) for capturing the output of the parsing stage. We employ Use-Case Descriptions (UCDs) as input into the whole framework of identification of classes and relationship. PUCD is used to extract nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs from use case descriptions as part of an identification process to identify objects/classes and relationships. We refine classes by human expert to produce a class model as output.
