Abstract

Portal design, regarded as a human-activity centric process, defines: (a) what users want in the context of their activity flows and information-resources; and (b) how information systems can be designed to address these needs. On this basis, the Breast Cancer Knowledge On-line (BCKO) project is trialling soft system methodology (SSM) in transforming its system development lifecycle (SDLC) approach into a human activity centric system design model to develop a user sensitive and intelligent knowledge-portal.
