Abstract

In investigating front end model development, an environment is described that allows for model construction through pruning a domain specific system entity structure. The preformal stages of the model will be represented by a verb phrase. This representation is sufficiently derailed to serve as the basis for model construction and yet sufficiently "soft" to support knowledge acquisition during model construction. This paper establishes the adequacy of this representation.<>
