Abstract
In recent years, Web Information Systems (WIS) development projects have grown increasingly complex and critical for the smooth running of the organizations. However, recent studies reveal that a high percentage of web-based development projects miss the quality parameters required by stakeholders, most of the time due to an incorrect requirements management. In this paper, we try to increase the weight of requirements engineering activities in Web Engineering, and propose a web engineering requirements metamodel extension that can be smoothly integrated with existing web engineering proposals in order to reinforce the first phases of systematic web development. Our proposal is accompanied by a tool that, being developed as an Eclipse plug-in, can also be integrated with any existing web engineering methodology developed under this general framework.
