This
...
paper
...
describes
...
an
...
approach
...
that
...
was
...
developed
...
for
...
the
...
formalization
...
of
...
activities
...
related
...
to
...
use
...
cases
...
in
...
the
...
context
...
of
...
Requirements
...
Elicitation
...
efforts
...
of
...
the
...
NCI
...
Vocabularies
...
and
...
Common
...
Data
...
Elements
...
(VCDE)
...
Workspace.
...
The
...
aim
...
of
...
this
...
approach
...
is
...
to
...
augment
...
current
...
requirements
...
elicitation
...
and
...
use
...
case
...
analysis
...
with
...
concepts
...
from
...
the
...
Open
...
Distributed
...
Processing
...
– Reference
...
Model
...
(RM-ODP)
...
[2
...
],
...
[3
...
],
...
contextualized
...
with
...
UML
...
semantics
...
and
...
notation.
...
The
...
approach
...
leverages
...
the
...
use
...
of
...
modelling
...
tools
...
such
...
as
...
Sparx
...
Enterprise
...
Architect
...
with
...
an
...
RM-ODP
...
plug-in.
...
A
...
further
...
aim
...
is
...
to
...
consider
...
recent
...
SAIF
...
developments
...
and
...
to
...
strengthen
...
the
...
use
...
of
...
RM-ODP
...
standards
...
in
...
the
...
software
...
development
...
lifecycle,
...
thus
...
holistically
...
promoting
...
interoperability
...
approaches
...
as
...
per
...
SAIF
...
objectives.
...
The
...
paper
...
is
...
structured
...
as
...
follows.
...
Section
...
...
...
...
...
...
outlines
...
key
...
activities
...
and
...
outcomes
...
of
...
the
...
requirements
...
elicitation
...
project
...
delivered
...
before
...
April
...
2010,
...
describes
...
the
...
rationale
...
for
...
a
...
use
...
case
...
formalization
...
approach
...
and
...
identifies
...
the
...
methodologies
...
and
...
techniques
...
used
...
in
...
the
...
subsequent
...
stage
...
of
...
the
...
Requirements
...
Elicitation
...
initiative.
...
Section
...
...
...
...
...
...
describes
...
a
...
leveling
...
approach
...
for
...
structuring
...
use
...
cases
...
as
...
well
...
as
...
the
...
use
...
of
...
UML
...
notation
...
to
...
support
...
delivery
...
of
...
artifacts
...
for
...
downstream
...
software
...
development
...
activities.
...
This
...
is
...
illustrated
...
through
...
examples
...
based
...
on
...
use
...
cases
...
developed
...
to
...
address
...
the
...
ISO
...
21090
...
datatype
...
support
...
requirement.
...
Section
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
introduces
...
the
...
concept
...
of
...
community
...
from
...
the
...
ODP
...
Enterprise
...
Language
...
as
...
a
...
way
...
of
...
augmenting
...
use
...
case
...
formalization,
...
and
...
describes
...
the
...
usage
...
of
...
the
...
community
...
concept
...
in
...
use
...
case
...
analysis
...
as
...
well
...
as
...
its
...
position
...
in
...
the
...
ECCF
...
matrix.
...
Several
...
lessons
...
were
...
learned
...
in
...
this
...
project
...
and
...
this
...
is
...
described
...
in
...
section

.
...
The

paper
...
concludes
...
with
...
...
...
...
...
...
,
...
a
...
list
...
of
...
possible
...
new
...
activities
...
to
...
be
...
undertaken
...
to
...
further
...
develop
...
and
...
strengthen
...
the

outcomes
