چکیده

Government laws and regulations impose requirements on software-intensive information systems. To comply with these laws and regulations, organizations need to evaluate current and future software systems early in the software development and procurement process by using a set of regulatory requirements. Acquiring requirements from regulations is complex because regulations contain intended and unintended ambiguity and because maintaining traceability across paragraphs and cross-references is essential to demonstrate due diligence in adhering to the law. To address these challenges, we introduce the Frame-Based Requirements Analysis Method (FBRAM) to systematically acquire semi-formal representations of requirements from regulations. The method provides a means to identify and document certain and possibly conflicting interpretations of regulatory requirements using an upper ontology, a context-free markup language and regulatory document model. This toolsupported method produces frame structures that are used to generate an HTML requirements document; this document is then visually inspected by analysts and domain experts who determine the correctness of the resulting requirements documents.
