A conceptual framework is proposed in which measurement development is envisioned as a three-level hierarchically structured process constituted of stages, each one composed of activities performed through multiple tasks.

The usefulness of the proposed methodology is then illustrated by applying it to an exemplary development of the measurement of the input-output transfer characteristic of an analog-to-digital converter and in the case of a research quality assessment.

Abstract
A conceptual framework is proposed in which measurement development is envisioned as a three-level hierarchically structured process constituted of stages, each one composed of activities performed through multiple tasks. The underlying assumptions are that measurement is a designed-on-purpose process and that the resources it requires should be justified on a pragmatic basis. The usefulness of the proposed methodology is then illustrated by applying it to an exemplary development of the measurement of the input-output transfer characteristic of an analog-to-digital converter and in the case of a research quality assessment. In this second case, the framework is used also to identify similarities and differences between this information gathering process and measurement.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
