New (re)start of this article

This article has just been restarted after about a year ago I merged the former Goal Modelling article in the Extended Enterprise Modeling Language EEML article, see also here. I realize now this might not have been a good idea. EEML does have a goal modelling extention, but goal modelling is not just a part of the EEML modelling language.

So I do support a separate Goal modeling article here. Some more things:

A choice has to be made where this article will me located in Wikipedia in Goal modeling or Goal modelling
Redirects can be made to there from Goal Modeling and Goal Modelling
Part of the former Goal Modelling, can be split from the EEML article, and put back here
This article does need more references, categorization and so forth.

Ah yes (belatedly). I've put a link on the EEML page and moved some of the old text here. The GRL text is probably obsolete given the development of i* (of which it's a variant), so it's below. Feel free to update and use it (with caution) or delete it. Chiswick Chap (talk) 12:50, 18 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Old GRL section

"---Goal-oriented Requirements Language---

Goal-oriented Requirements Language (GRL) is a language that is designed to support goal-oriented modeling and reasoning about requirements, especially the non-functional requirements ^[1] It allows to express conflict between goals and helps to make decisions that resolve conflicts. There are three main categories of concepts in GRL: intentional elements, intentional relationships and actors.^[2] They are called for intentional because they are used in models that primarily concerned with answering "why" question of requirements (for ex. why certain choices for behavior or structure were made, what alternatives exist and what is the reason for choosing of certain alternative."
