Abstract

Automated extraction of semantic information from textual descriptions can be implemented by processing results of application of Stanford CoreNLP tools. This paper presents a sequence of processing steps and initial results of their application for two examples of a description of system’s functionality. The processing steps allow identifying main functional characteristics of the system and its operational domain. Results obtained as a result of application of the steps are compared with data obtained as a result of analysis by a developer. Application of Stanford CoreNLP parsers in certain cases can produce errors and can influence results of further processing. The comparison of the two results sets showed that variability of language constructs in descriptions affects an amount of implicitly expressed knowledge. Nevertheless, results of this research can be used as a start point of automated text processing for creation of analysis models.
