Web site requirements definition ~ Ace records

Paola Kathuria @ Limitless

1996

Ace Records had a number of goals for their office database and their web site. We ran a half-day meeting at Ace Records with their web developer present to discuss - and then document - their database and web site requirements.

Ace Records had three main requirements:

  1. move their web site to another server
  2. maintain a local database of catalogue, royalty and licensor information
  3. add a searchable catalogue to their web site

We wrote a requirements document after the meeting. It included various technical approaches, each with a discussion of the pros and cons. The document also included a database design which would allow flexibility in searching (e.g., list available versions of a given song) with the minimum of maintenance.
