Agile Development Driven by Data Model – The Best Practice of TCM Literature Information System

抄録

A large number of Chinese ancient books provide important guidance for clinical practice. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) information system can help us to speed up the transformation of TCM knowledge from the books to the clinical practice. Traditional waterfall model driven by system function need the whole documents of development at the beginning. If the users make any changes in the period of development, it will bring so many extra works, so this kind of development model cannot fit the development without clear demand. Agile development pattern driven by data model can help us construct function models rapidly under the condition that the function demands cannot be defined exactly. Through continuous iteration, we can complete the construction of literature information system with high efficiency and high quality.
