“…If necessary, they can be modified by the users before taking effect. We described the use of such reference models in system specification in more detail in Van der Rijst and de Moor [36]. Since the purpose of http://law.kub.nl/ejcl/ this article is to show how users can manage their own workflow change, instead of to describe all their potential requirements in detail, we will not use a full reference model here.…”

Virtual professional communities are supported by network information systems composed from standard Internet tools. To satisfy the interests of all community members, a user-driven approach to requirements engineering is proposed that produces not only meaningful but also acceptable specifications. This approach is especially suited for workflow systems that support partially structured, evolving work processes. To ensure the acceptability, social norms must guide the specification process. The RENISYS specification method is introduced, which facilitates this process using composition norms as formal representations of social norms. Conceptual graph theory is used to represent four categories of knowledge definitions: type definitions, state definitions, action norms and composition norms. It is shown how the composition norms guide the legitimate user-driven specification process by analysing a case on the development of an electronic law journal.

Abstract. Users need to be strongly involved in the specification process of network information systems. Characteristics of user-driven specification are described, and process composition is proposed as a feasible approach. The knowledge representation framework used in the RENISYS specification method is introduced, using conceptual graph theory as its underlying formalism. The role of ontological and normative knowledge is explained. The presented theory is used to show how legitimate process definitions can be generated by the users. The facilitation of user-driven process composition is discussed.

“…In RENISYS, however, these theory-grounded primitives are meant to be accepted and modified by (authorized) users. To increase the efficiency of this customization process, reference models predefining concepts of particular domains can be useful [20].…”
