Modeling languages are meant to support the description of contexts and concerns from specific standpoints. And because those different perspectives have to be mapped against shared references, language must also provide constructs for ironing out variants and factoring out constants.

Modeing languages have been used successfully in software engineering and programming for more than 20 years because the provide a framework to map business requirements/scenarios/tasks to the required system functionality/capabilities (ultimately translated into a programming language solution in the case of software engineering).
I've some reservations about the so-called "requirements engineering" approach as it blurs the distinction between business and system realms.
That may be OK when problem and solution can be neatly packaged at the same level (e.g computing insurance premiums). But that will not work if business, functional, and technical solutions are to be managed independently.
