Abstract
Information modeling is done with respect to the development of information systems and to support the organizational design of an enterprise. In order to achieve these goals information models, since they can be very complex, have to be structured in a framework. Such a framework, as presented in this paper, has two facets: first, a domain specific structure that encompasses the business tasks that have to be fulfilled in a specific industry (e. g. industry, retail, banking), second, guidelines that guarantee the methodical quality of the information models. An example for a domain specific structure is presented with the Architecture for Retail Information Systems, the so-called “Handels-H-Model”1 . The quality of modeling is supported by the “Guidelines of Modeling” (GoM), recommendations for an efficient, comprehensive, and correct design of information models.
