This paper proposes an approach that can be used to generate traceability relations between organisational models specified in i* and software systems models represented in UML (in particular use case and class diagrams). The paper proposes different types of traceability relationships between i* and UML models and uses traceability rules to generate the different types of traceability relations between them. The traceability rules and traceable models are represented in XML. This makes possible the use of the approach in settings where the models are created and managed autonomously.
