This work introduces a framework of reference for database design.Database (DB) design is presented as a part of information system (IS) design, because the DB design process is concerned with the construction of a database as a subsystem of an IS. Then the DB design process is related to the general system development process and all existing connections are stated.The actions which are necessary to implement a database are divided in two categories: data system design and management design. The utility of a reference model for the data system design is shown.
