Abstract

Requirement analysis is an integral part of the software engineering process. Usually, the information to be modeled is relatively unbounded and lacks structure. This makes it difficult to obtain a consensus on the requirement analysis document. This paper provides an examination of how both requirement analysis and knowledge elicitation can be made more efficient in the Internet age by making it an open process. In particular it describes how the World Wide Web can be used to facilitate collaborative development and reuse of requirements. The various issues faced by present day requirements engineers in creating a requirement analysis document and eliciting knowledge from experts, specifically in the domain of medical expert systems is dealt with.
