Webel Parsing Analysis: SysML: Pseudo Semantic Triple: A «pa:triple» may be applied to a Dependency between SysML Blocks and/or Actors or Properties typed by them.

Webel Parsing Analysis: Pseudo Semantic Triple: When «pa:triple» is applied to a named uni-directional Association the name and a consistent direction arrow should be displayed on the Association symbol in diagrams.

Webel Parsing Analysis: Pseudo Semantic Triple: For «pa:triple» applied to a named one-to-one Dependency, the source is the subject, the name of the Dependency is the predicate, the target is the object.

Webel Parsing Analysis: Pseudo Semantic Triple: For «pa:triple» applied to a named one-to-one or one-to-many uni-directional Association, the non-navigable end Property is the subject, the name is the predicate, the navigable end Property is the object.

Webel Parsing Analysis (with strict traceability of all elicited model elements) can be used side-by-side with "freestyle" modelling with incremental benefit the more it is used.

The Webel Parsing Analysis recipe promotes a clearly scoped modelling workflow.

Even relatively informal elicitation of model elements using the SysML ElementGroup and a Parsing Analysis approach is extremely powerful.

Translating authoritative technical documents written in “natural” engineering language (snippet-by-snippet) into Webel Parsing Analysis diagrams creates consistent underlying systems models and can bridge easily to existing methodologies.

Humans work well with natural language: Many stakeholders – including those who are not necessarily familiar with UML or SysML modelling symbols and diagrams - benefit enormously from having plain text in diagrams side-by-side with graphics.

Webel Parsing Analysis is a "meta-process" that can be applied to general domain source documents to elicit Requirements (and related model elements) or to a Requirements Specification itself as a special case of a domain source document!

Not even the most experienced requirements engineers can easily state requirements perfectly in consistent requirements-friendly language first shot; requirements and constraints are often buried in the natural text of domain source documents.

TRAIL: Webel's ultimate guide to Systems Modeling Language with MagicDraw/Cameo

Webel Parsing Analysis: A Snippet (keyword «snippet») MUST always have exactly one domain 'source' Document (keyword «document»).

Webel Parsing Analysis: A custom Document stereotype (keyword «document») extends the UML standard profile Document that extends Artifact (which is NOT in the UML4SysML intersection). Such a Document may act as the 'source' of a «snippet».

Webel Parsing Analysis: Create a top-level 'source' or '0-source' Package/Model SEPARATE from your project model. All source «document» elements and «snippet» extracts and «pa» diagrams MUST be ultimately owned by that top-level Package/Model as ancestor!

Webel «pa» Parsing Analysis Diagrams (PADs) are "scratchpads" used to elicit model elements traceably from text «snippets». While BDDs are a good initial choice, most types of SysML diagram can be used as a «pa» diagram.

Webel Parsing Analysis: If you are processing lots of text from one source «document» create a STUB «snippet» with that «document» set as 'source' and just make copies of it in the model browser as needed. Big time saver!

Webel Parsing Analysis: If you wish to show a «snippet» comment symbol (with its body text) in a presentation diagram (that is NOT a «pa» diagram) remove the '/members' tagged value from display so the only visible tagged value is 'source'.

Webel Parsing Analysis «pa» diagrams are NOT intended as final presentation diagrams! They serve merely to traceably elicit model elements, which may then be shown in other (typically much tidier) presentation diagrams elsewhere.
