THE MOTION PICTURE PARADIGM FOR MANAGING INFORMATION A Framework and Approach to Supporting the Play and Replay of Information in Computerised Information Systems

摘要

The ability of Information Systems to provide a continuous, on-the-fly and playable information scene for any specified review period of arbitrary time granularity would help to enhance the reporting and decision support capabilities of CIS. This paper presents a new paradigm, called the motion picture paradigm, for information management. The paradigm views an organisation's database and information system as a mechanism for recording motion pictures of organisational information scenes that can be queried and presented through on-the-fly, dynamic and interactive play and re-play operations.
