Abstract:

The rapid proliferation of computerized information systems has created an urgent need for better methods to determine what the contents of the data bases for these systems should be. The central theme underlying the methodology, which is proposed for making this determination, is that there are certain types of information concerning what the contents of a data base should be that can be best provided by the most knowledgeable people in the area, i.e. the potential users of the system. A concurrent consideration, which also makes it highly desirable to have the potential users involved in the development of their system, is that participation in decision making has been shown to lead to greater group acceptance. This aspect of potential user involvement is especially important, since group acceptance is critical to the success of any information system.
