INFORMATION MODELLING - PAUL BEYNON-DAVIES KART...

This textbook provides solid guidance on how to produce information models in practice.
Information modeling has become increasingly relevant as an approach for understanding the
active role that data plays within business and management and promoting the planning of
business activities. The text promotes a practical approach to information modelling based
around the analysis of communicative practice within delimited domains of organization. The
book chapters are designed to be read in sequence. The early chapters build an account of
information modelling from the bedrock of a theory of information situations. Later chapters
discuss a number of practical issues concerned with the application of this business analysis
and design technique. The conclusion demonstrates a larger context for the application and
importance of information modelling. Numerous in-text examples of the concepts of information
modelling and their application are included throughout the text. A separate chapter is devoted
to a range of exercises which the reader can use to test understanding and application of the
technique. An appendix with solutions is also provided to support learning. Overall  this
textbook provides a step-by-step introduction to information modelling for use in undergraduate
and postgraduate modules in information systems  computer science and even digitally focused
modules within business and management. No prerequisite knowledge is assumed on the part of the
reader. Students and practitioners are tutored in the development of information modelling from
first principles. The book covers all the core principles of both entity-relationship
diagramming and class diagramming - the two major approaches to information modelling.
