Summary/Abstract: In the context of enterprise engineering business and information systems allignment becomes one of the most important problems. The paper proposes a new technique for derivation software requirements from business requirements. The proposed approach suggests that all levels of enterprise system, including business, information processing and software levels, should be described using the same collection of concepts (ontology) and that these concepts should be defined using framework of general systems engineering. Such approach allows to reinterpret zachman’s framework and use this framework as a tool to downflow requirements from business to software level. Requirements allocation and stepwise refinement techniques should be used to derive both functional and non-functional software requirements.
