A simple representation framework for ontological knowledge with dynamic and deontic characteristics is presented. It represents structural relationships (
is
-
a
,
part
/
whole
), dynamic relationships (actions such as
register
,
pay
, etc.), and conditional relationships (
if
-
then
-
else
). As a case study, we apply our representation language to the task of requirements elicitation in software engineering. We show how our pre-conceptual schemas can be obtained from controlled natural language discourse and how these diagrams can be then converted into standard UML diagrams. Thus our representation framework is shown to be a useful intermediate step for obtaining UML diagrams from natural language discourse.
