In Requirements Engineering, there exist different kinds of approaches such as goal-oriented, viewpoint-oriented and scenario-oriented approaches to specify companies’ needs. These companies use these different approaches to elicit, specify,analyze and validate their requirements in different contexts. The globalization and the rapid development of information technologies sometimes require companies to work together in order to achieve common objectives as quickly as possible. We propose a Unified Requirements Engineering Meta-model (UREM) which allows cooperation in the requirements engineering process between heterogeneous RE models. In this paper, we explore UREM as a pivot meta-model which performs translation between different RE models in order to ensure interoperability between heterogeneous RE models.
