Knitting a Web Based Information System
- Concepts and Techniques
(Chivhanga, 2000)
There are four stages that can be followed
in the web weaving process namely:
1. Needs
Analysis - examine existing sources of information,
identify the information needs/gaps of the users, study the
socio-economic circumstances of the target audience, their
culture and environment and through this determine how they
are likely to use that information, determine the development
goals to be met.
2. Content
Architecture - determine the source of the content,
determine the nature of content, establish how the web resource/information
is going to meet the development goals i.e. establish goal
congruence - the relationship between information and development
and consider any constraints the eventual user is likely to
face when accessing the web resource.
3. Authoring
- design the interface of the web site e.g. navigation structure,
background and knit all the different media elements using
appropriate web editing packages and web programming languages.
4. Implementation
and Impact Assessments - this stage involves publishing
your web resource on the Internet, carrying out impact assessments,
analyse web log results, revising and up-dating the content.
