Process description
This process goes beyond Bailey’s three-level indicator model[1] to combine the conceptualization/deduction and empiricism/induction strategies into a single method that encourages the researcher to use the strategies in an iterative manner to best reach a useful taxonomy. In addition, it includes specific ending conditions that test the taxonomy as it is being developed. This approach is consistent with the design science ‘generate/test cycle’ described by Hevner et al[2]. Finally, it adds the important concept of meta-characteristic that Bailey does not identify explicitly or implicitly.
Determine meta-characteristic
Description
Meta-characteristic: High-level interaction bet- ween the application user and the application.
The purpose of the taxonomy should, in turn, be based on the expected use of the taxonomy and thus could be defined by the eventual users of the taxonomy. The design process could involve first identifying the user(s) of the taxonomy who then specify the projected use of the taxonomy, either explicitly or implicitly.
