  text: One purpose of requirement refinement is that higher-level requirements have
    to be translated to something usable by developers. Since customer requirements
    are often written in natural language by end users, they lack precision, completeness
    and consistency. Although user stories are often used in the requirement elicitation
    process in order to describe the possibilities how to interact with the software,
    there is always something unspoken. Here, we present techniques how to automatically
    refine vague software descriptions. Thus, we can bridge the gap by first revising
    natural language utterances from higher-level to more detailed customer requirements,
    before functionality matters. We therefore focus on the resolution of semantically
    incomplete user-generated sentences (i.e. non-instantiated arguments of predicates)
    and provide ontology-based gap-filling suggestions how to complete unverbalized
    information in the user’s demand.
