Abstract
In designing Information systems words are being used: words with a fixed meaning, such as keywords and words chosen by the designer denoting entities, relationships, attributes, values, actors, messages, etc. Usually these words have a certain meaning and usually their usage is according to that meaning. In this paper we will describe how a Lexicon, containing these words and their meaning, can be used fruitfully when combined with a CASE tool.
