Understanding and Modelling Organisational Information Flows

摘要

Every organisation needs information flows to operate. Information modelling enables the analysis, communication and optimisation of information flows. LINQ is a technique for information modelling. This paper discusses the LINQ technique for modelling organisational information flows. We illustrate the technique with a case study. Then we analyse the similarities and differences between LINQ and other wellknown information modelling techniques. The paper concludes by discussing the potential applications, future directions, and limitation of the LINQ technique.
