Business language analysis for object-oriented information systems |
|

Business language analysis grows out of a philosophy that treats
business organizations as living systems. A key concern is the meaning
of business information that provides adaptive survival advantage and
strategic leverage. Popular object-oriented methodologies correctly
recognize the need to identify business objects by analyzing the
problem domain. The approach described in this paper fills in the
details that are implied, but not specified by other methods. It
builds a business language model that clarifies both the content
and structure of the terminology actually used in the business. Simple
examples of business language analyses are given. Deeper insight is
offered in a discussion of lexical semantic and category theory and in
the proposed notion of business language patterns.
