Check the NFR framework (Non-functional requirements) by John Mylopoulos =
et al.
You could also do a search on google.com that will lead you to more =
lit..
NFR framework provides you with a way to refine high-level requirements = to more specific requirements. The notion of a softgoal requirement as a = high-level requirements is used instead. Example if your requirement is = to build a "pretty home page " then you can use the NFR framework to = refine it by specifying colours to be uses, fonts to be used, etc to = arrive at more specific and concrete low-level (in your words) = requirements.

Hello,
I am investigating aspects of abstraction level of requirements, i.e. =
on
what level a requirement can/should be specified regarding the aim of =
the
requirement. Aim could be e.g. who uses the req. and for what =
purpose...
Example:
High level -> "...open standards should be supported"
...
Lower level -> "...the application should be compliant to USB2.0"
I wonder if there has been any research regarding this aspect, as well =
as
the mapping of the high-low level requirements to each other, and to
company/product strategies.
Would appreciate any tips, references and links.
Best regards,
