Managing Multiple Requirements Perspectives with Metamodels

Stakeholder conflicts can be productive in requirements engineering. Capturing, monitoring, and resolving multiple perspectives is difficult and time consuming when done by hand. Our experience with ConceptBase shows that a simple but customizable metamodeling approach, combined with an advanced query facility, produces higher quality requirements documents in less time.
