Abstract
Today, information analysis has two main topics: the construction of computer information systems and their integration. By integration, we mean not only sharing databases, but also other techniques for coupling applications. Using application architecture, we can design a rough picture of applications and databases for planning purposes for the whole or parts of an enterprise. We propose refinement of this basic picture for specific applications and databases producing process models and Entity-Relationship Models (ERM). Our ERM dialect can be transformed into relations into 4th Normal Form straightforward.
