Claim Text:
1. A computer system comprising a processor and memory, wherein the system is programmed to provide a first metamodel comprising a plurality of predefined fields relating to requirements engineering wherein the predefined fields of the metamodel define the requirements and goals in a requirement engineering process thereby providing a framework for the inputting of data, and ontological relationships between at least some of the predefined data entry fields in the metamodel and to store one or more further metamodels and the ontological relationships in the memory, and to enable a user to enter information into one or more of the predefined fields of the first metamodel and the computer system configured to identify one or more instances of a previously completed predefined field having the same ontological relationship in a metamodel stored in the memory, and automatically entering the information in the predefined field of the first metamodel in order to enable the automatic generation of one or more of: a requirements specification and the steps for creating a requirements specification, wherein the automatically generated requirements specification or steps for creating the requirements specification are based on the information entered into the predefined fields.
