Abstract

We investigate the possibilities for automated transition from Use Cases in a restricted natural language syntax
into UML class diagrams, by trying to capture the semantics of the natural language and map it into building blocks of
the object oriented programming paradigm (classes, objects, methods, properties etc.).
Syntax and semantic analysis is done in a framework of Definite Clause Grammars extended with Constraint Handling Rules, which generalizes previous approaches with a direct way to express domain knowledge utilized in the interpretation process as well as stating explicit rules for pronoun resolution.
The latter involves an improvement of earlier work on assumptions with time stamps.
