A general methodological framework for the development of Web-Based Information Systems

In this paper, we present a general methodological framework, called WISDOM (Web Based Information System Development with a cOmprehensive Methodology), for the development of Web-based information systems (WIS). WISDOM is generally applicable and supports the design and the development of a wide spectrum of WIS applications. This is achieved by defining the WISDOM framework as a family of inter-related activities. The most suitable combination of activities for the development of a target WIS application is obtained by dropping and/or specializing one or more of the component activities of WISDOM.
