User Requirements Collection and Analysis in Digital Libraries

This project aims to elicit requirements from various user communities through customized questionnaires and scenario analysis. It explores goal-based requirements analysis methodologies, aiming to capture both functional and non-functional requirements.

  1. WP1: User Requirements Collection and AnalysisDimitris Plexousakisdp@csi.forth.gr Computer Science Department, University of Crete& Institute for Computer Science - FORTHHeraklion, Crete

  2. Requirements Elicitation • Identify relevant user communities (have we established contacts?) • DELOS NoE in Digital Libraries • ERCIM • Library Representatives • German and Italian Societies of Mathematics • German Society of Physics • Greek Society of Mathematics • Hellenic Informatics Society • O.A.I user groups • Other Networks (e.g., PLANET, OntoWeb)

  3. Requirements Elicitation • specify scenarios of use • assemble and distribute customized questionnaires • questionnaires should be detailed but non-technical • assumptions about users: • familiarity with computer / web-browser use • address current practices in literature search • tools to use • distribution over WWW, e-mail • collection through WWW • avoid in-print questionnaires • web-site hosting questionnaire forms • language? (single -- English, multi?)

  4. Requirements Analysis • Many requirement analysis methodologies exist • None is obviously better than the other • Goal-based requirements analysis • questionnaire processing should lead to goal specification • goal decomposition and refinement • exception handling though scenario analysis • result in operationalizable specifications • tools to use (under investigation) • some requirements modeling tools exist • few analysis tools (e.g., GBRAT) • Must capture functional and non-functional requirements
