This project continues a long-term NSERC-supported research program with the general objective of developing and improving methods for information systems (IS) analysis and design (SA&D). Analysis focuses on understanding the requirements for a system. Design is the creation of a plan for a system that fulfills the requirements. Proper processes of analysis and design are crucial to the success of information technology projects and hence can have a significant economic impact. The research is based on considering an IS as a representation of a certain "real" (application) domain. Accordingly, the objective of SA&D is developing a faithful and usable representation. The theoretical foundations of the work are Ontology and Concept Theory. In philosophy, ontological theories deal with what exists in the world. In cognitive sciences, Concept Theory addresses how humans organize information into concepts.

该项目延续了NSERC支持的长期研究计划，其总体目标是开发和改进信息系统（IS）分析和设计（SA&D）的方法。分析的重点是理解系统的需求。设计是为满足需求的系统创建计划。适当的分析和设计过程对信息技术项目的成功至关重要，因此可以产生重大的经济影响。该研究是基于考虑作为一个代表的某一“真实的”（应用）域的IS。因此，SA&D的目标是开发一个忠实和可用的表示。本文的理论基础是本体论和概念论。在哲学中，本体论理论处理世界上存在的东西。在认知科学中，概念理论解决了人类如何将信息组织成概念。
