SYSMLR — Parsing Text in Requirements

Parsing Text in Requirements: There is a need to parse the text string in a SysML requirement and create a reference from the parsed text to other model elements or perhaps to a URI. This will enable one to associated additional meaning to selected portions of the text string, such as a particular value, property name, function, or some other feature. A parsed text string which can refer to other elements could be generalized to support other uses within SysML where text is used. In this sense, the proposal could treat this in another chapter such as model elements to make it more generally applicable. One possible approach is to consider a net type called "ParsedText" that has some structure to it, so that the text can be parsed and a reference can be made from the parsed text. The Requirements text property would then be typed by ParsedText instead of String as it currently is.
