“…We have several experiences in applying the information object model to development various types of information systems, they are KALAOK object system (Tai et al, 2012a;Wikipedia, 2013b), photo object system (Tai et al, 2012b;Lee et al, 2009), community object system (Huang et al, 2011;Tsai et al, 2010), and learning object system (Huang et al, 2013). During the developments of these systems, we have also developed a number of practical tools to help the building and maintaining of the information systems.…”

“…For a compound object, the number of sub-objects to be stored in data part is not limited (Tai et al, 2012a). In order to enable the user to find out specific information objects easily, a keyword-based search mechanism is designed for compound objects.…”

“…There is still not a sufficiently simple and open approach, enabling users to reuse or modify existing digital contents. In addressing these problems, we proposed an information object model (Tai et al, 2012a). The information object as we proposed is a unit which is portable, extensible and composable for constructing an information system.…”

“…The traditional file management systems provide 'directory' and 'file' as the abstractions for users to organise their data. Similarly, the core system support of the information system provides 'compound object' (Tai et al, 2012a) and 'basic object' (Tai et al, 2012a) as abstractions for users to organise their information objects.…”

“…With the experiences in developing the information object systems (Tai et al, 2012a(Tai et al, , 2012bTsai et al, 2010), we drew up a systematic approach to build an object-based information system. An application designer can quickly build an object-based information system as long as the application design complies with the core system specifications and using the tools provided by the core system.…”

On the internet, many websites provide services for users to post and share their contents. However, most systems do not address on the convenience in content portability or the extensibility in functionality on the information to be shared. This paper presents a methodology to construct an information system using the information object model. The key mechanisms behind the methodology are three parts: 1) the tools used to build the object tree; 2) the tools used to install the methods of an information object; 3) the tools used to browse and search the target information objects. Using the three key mechanisms, an application designer can systematically build an information object system in a relatively simple way. In this paper we will explore the methodology and the mechanisms used. We will also demonstrate how we develop an application using the methodology.Keywords: systematic approach; information system; portability; extensibility; information object model.Reference to this paper should be made as follows: Huang, Y.S., Tsai, S.R., Huang, K.H., Tai, Y.L., Jiau, H.C. and Wen, C.K.
