Abstract:
The domain of operating system reference manuals uses linguistic constructs that are difficult to process since many terms are similar and most concepts are abstract software engineering constructs. The SIFT system for automatic test generation from these documents uses a natural-languagebased formalism for software domain models. The formalism is based on the generative lexicon framework (Pustejovsky 1995). Examples show how this model is used for information extraction from texts in the software engineering domain.
