Method is a systematic procedure for a particular information manipulation process that is needed as a part of an assessment work. Method is the basic building block for describing the assessment work (not reality, like the other universal objects). In practice, methods are "how-to-do" descriptions about how information should be produced, collected, analysed, or synthesised in an assessment. Some methods can be about managing other methods.

Scope

Research question about the structure of a method
What is a structure for a method such that it
  • applies to any method that may be needed in any assessment work,
  • enables a detailed enough description so that the work can be performed based on it,
  • complies with the structure of the universal objects.
