Abstract
Domain models are often reconstructed from different resources and contain domain elements, their properties and relationships. Ideally, the domain creation process is made transparent, so that each decision in the creation process can be traced back to the original source. One way to reach this goal is to use qualitative content analysis methods, e.g. the Grounded Theory. In this paper, the Grounded Theory is applied to the domain of IT infrastructures especially the blade technology and shows the necessary steps to extract a domain model from arbitrary documents.
