Abstract:
An information system was developed to manage the data for a large number of research
projects simultaneously. The system, called URIS, has facilitated the management of
research data in an academic urological department. It enables end-users, who are
not necessarily skilled computer scientists, to design their own databases semi-automatically,
by supporting data entry screen design and the specification of research items. The
system creates the database tables automatically after these activities. The specification
of research items is the most important but also most difficult part in this process.
