Abstract
A method of automatic identifying linking relationships of requirements in a plurality of requirement documents. Terms in the plurality of requirement documents are identified. A part-of-speech tag is assigned to each term. Each identified term is selected as a focal term. Co-occurring terms within a predetermined distance of the selected focal term are determined. A linking relationship probability is calculated for each co-occurring term associated with the selected focal term. The selected focal terms and associated co-occurring terms between the plurality of requirement documents are compared. A degree of linking relationship is identified between two requirements as a function of a comparison between selected focal terms and the associated co-occurring terms between the plurality of requirement documents. An analysis report identifying the degree of linking relationships between two respective requirements is output.
