The architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) sector extensively uses documents supporting product and process development. As part of this, organisations should handle big data of hundreds, or even thousands, of technical documents…

Over the past decade, different domain-specific languages (DSLs) were proposed to formally specify requirements stated in legal contracts, mainly for analysis but also for code generation. Symboleo is a promising language in that area.…
