Abstract

This paper presents a concept for the evaluation of data modeling which is based on existing theoretical approaches and an empirical study conducted by the author. The main results of this study with respect to evaluation suggest to focus more on organizational issues of modeling, more on process instead of product quality, to consider different application scenarios of data modeling as well as to distinguish the enterprise-wide evaluation of data modeling as an organizational function from the evaluation of single projects using data modeling. The concept consists of recommendations for the evaluation procedure, persons involved, instruments, the design of important organizational dimensions as well as concrete process measures.
