Abstract

The transition from user requirements to UML diagrams is a difficult task for the designer especially when he handles large texts expressing these needs. Modeling class Diagram must be performed frequently, even during the development of a simple application. This paper proposes an approach to facilitate class diagram extraction from textual requirements using NLP techniques and domain ontology.
