We've had lengthy discussions on THE REAL CASE METHOD, because
the methods which are mentioned in the references obviously
are abundantly used, but are not the best fit for automation.
So, are you looking at methods like the UK-method SSADM, which
is in my view a better fit for automating and integrating in a
CASE toolset?

In that CASE I would advice to read SSADM-articles.
