I am beginning to get into thinking that a web application has a logical
and physical design element, very similar to the way you design databases.
I was wondering if anybody else had been thinking like this.
The reason this came up was because I recently had to develop a intranet
site, where there were 15 sections. Each section would allow the creation
of an entry in the section. An entry(or document) could be a URL, Piece of
Text, or a File.
The initial design phase, involved identifying these sections and what was
wanted in them. I.e. The Physical Design.
I then took the Physical design, identified the objects (I come from a
OOA/D background), and created a generic document manager with a set of
functions to perform on the document. This became the Logical design.
What effectively happened was that the Logical design had effectively 3
top level areas (directories), whereas the Physical (what the client saw)
had about 13 perceived areas. Anybody else working like this?
Another thought that came to mind...I should be using Spectra...
