This paper presents the conceptual modelling parts of a methodology for the design of large-scale data-intensive web information systems (WISs) that is based on an abstract abstraction layer model (ALM). Itconcentrates on the two most important layers in this model: a business layer and a conceptual layer.The major activities on the business layer deal with user profiling and storyboarding, which addresses thedesign of an underlying application story. The core of such a story can be expressed by a directed multi-graph, in which the vertices represent scenes and the edges actions by the users including navigation. Thisleads to story algebras which can then be used to personalise the WIS to the needs of a user with a partic-ular profile.The major activities on the conceptual layer address the support of scenes by modelling media types,which combine links to databases via extended views with the generation of navigation structures, opera-tions supporting the activities in the storyboard, hierarchical presentations, and adaptivity to users, end-devices and channels.Read the full paper here: https://reader.elsevier.com/reader/sd/pii/S0169023X04001727?token=2B2291E93B8D0A85E1F6DF0EA725FE6956D54D8825451DD2861F864FFEB2EDDC218BBB9660493A653B396F73D865BA39
