Requirements traceability is an extremely important aspect of software development and especially of maintenance. Efficient maintaining of traceability links between high-level requirements specification and low-level implementation is hindered by many problems. In this paper, we propose a method for automated recovery of links between parts of the textual requirement specification and the source code of implementation. The described method is based on a method allowing extraction of a prototype domain model from plain text requirements specification. The proposed method is evaluated on two non-trivial examples. The performed experiments show that our method is able to link requirements with source code with the accuracy of F1 = 58 - 61%.
