Introduction

The Highlighter App in DCR is a plugin that supports translations between natural language descriptions and
declarative process models. The resulting models are given in DCR Graphs. Traceability is at the core of the tool: Later changes in the process model due to, e.g., ambiguity resolution are traced back into the text. This allows users to either correct and complete their descriptions, or to derive models more refined than the text.
