Abstract
Network information system specification in virtual professional communities requires a legitimate user-driven approach. In such an approach, only specification changes are produced that are not only meaningful but also acceptable to all users. To do so, for each requested change, a relevant user group needs to be selected to work out the required knowledge definition changes. This paper describes the mechanism through which such a relevant user group can be calculated. The dynamics of the composition norms that guide the required specification behaviour are explained. The conceptual graph notation for four categories of specification knowledge is given. The Peirce conceptual graph workbench is used to demonstrate the composition norm dynamics calculation.
