the
previous stage, to create a users requirements specification that describes in
detail the data
to be held in the database and how the data is to be used. While gathering more
information
on the user views, we also collect any general requirements for the system. The
purpose
of gathering this information is to create a systems specification, which describes
any

features to be included in the new database system such as networking and shared
access
