Review
Review of the hardback: : 'I strongly recommend this book to people who view information systems only as a technology and do not remember that any technology that can change the way people live and work is necessarily a social and philosophical subject.' G. Rumolo, Computing Reviews
Book Description
Data modelling was hypothesised to be the salvation of an organisation's data problems. This book aims to analyse the problems encountered and to present a comparative philosophical study of the various approaches. The authors explore the epistemology, ontology and rationality of each modelling approach, and describe the underlying assumptions embedded in them.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Information systems development is not merely a technical intervention but involves social and ethical dilemmas that affect the human, social and organisational domains. To demonstrate this point, the authors conduct a thorough and substantive description and analysis of the conceptual and philosophical underpinnings of systems development. In particular they analyse a number of systems development methodologies including structured methods, prototyping, ETHICS and Soft Systems Methodology to reveal the underlying conceptual and philosophical foundations. The book provides an in-depth analysis of data modelling theory and its links with theories of language and cognition. It offers a framework to describe and analyse different systems development approaches and to explain their strengths and weaknesses. The book is aimed at graduate students taking courses in information systems and data modelling, but will also appeal to information systems managers and professionals for whom the exhaustive bibliography and summary of methodologies will be useful. Data modelling was hypothesised to be the salvation of an organisation's data problems. This aims to analyse the problems encountered and present a comparative philosophical study of the various approaches. It explores the epistemology, ontology and rationality of each modelling approach, and describes the underlying assumptions embedded in them. This item is printed on demand.
