Applying NOMIS - Modelling Information Systems Using a Human Centred Approach

NOMIS is an innovative human centred information systems modelling approach that is based on human observable actions. It seeks to deliver the desired objectivity and precision required in information systems development. From a theoretical perspective, NOMIS offers a vision into an Information System (IS) using different views that are complimentary, comprehensive and consistent. Some of these views are adaptations and extensions of the theoretical IS insights provided by the theories of Organisational Semiotics, the Theory of Organised Activity and Enterprise Ontology. From a practical perspective, NOMIS proposes a modelling notation that uses a set of tables and diagrams to represent NOMIS vision and views.
