A Method for Describing Information Required by the Database Design Process
Summary: Proposes a formal method to describe the information required for database design, addressing input feasibility and adequacy beyond process-centric approaches. Defines two independent views—the information structure perspective (data characteristics and relations) and the usage perspective (data use)—and a vehicle to integrate them.
