An information mode for information demand analysis concerning information logistics

This paper presents an information model for the personal information demand of registered users of information-logistical applications. Besides a project-dependent classification of information objects, the information model provides an information-logistical condition profile, a delivery profile and a reachabiltiy profile. With the condition profile the classification of information objects of the information demand may be refined. Moreover, conditions concerning the content, timing restrictions as well as location requirements can be defined for any piece of information. In a delivery profile all delivery parameters are defined for any information object. Here, the user can define, when a piece of information should be delivered to which place and in which work context. In addition, the reachability profile of a user and his communication devices is grasped.
