Abstract

This paper presents a universal meta-model for Strategic Information Requirements Elicitation and a methodology to generate and use strategic information models. The framework fits the methodological gap that exists in the Strategic Information Requirements and supports the analyst in (a) define structured high level information requirements and (b) assess informational support from a variety of perspectives. The meta-model enhance the e-TOM Aggregate Business Entity concept by the adding the concepts of specialization and decomposition. The methodology uses several perspective to assure the robustness of information requirements, their coverage on the IT infrastructure and the ownership of information. Specifically the methodology includes various steps, namely the selection, customization, refinement and validation of the ABEs, evaluation of the informative support and sensitivity analysis. The model can be used for analysis, audit and strategic planning and may be leaned to CASE tools.
