General Analysis of Requirements for Risk-Oriented Financial Data Modeling

Data modeling is a challenge field in computer engineering. Although researcher made great progresses theoretically, mature technologies in developing and designing are still on the way of exploring. We are engaged in a kind of novel financial data modeling. In the course of our study we found a new method usable in our developing, namely, general analysis of requirements. With this new thought, our work makes breakthrough in process. This paper intends to introduce our study work and the conclusion. We firstly present the new method with which our research is smoothed. We also discuss this method as an exploration in theory. Secondly, we elicit the general requirements for the financial data model from various needs of stakeholders or other roles interested as a common request in the same kind of software usage. Thirdly, we disambiguate the misunderstanding in conception of risk information. Finally we put out the concept of risk used in financial data model as a result of general analysis of requirements. In this paper we also propose the thought of Software Requirements Generalization (SRG) for the first time. This method can be extended to all the computer software designing and developing.
