Feature Modeling and User Interface Modeling for Ethnopharmacology Data Management System

Abstract

This research aimed to develop software for a pharmacognosy data management system by utilizing a feature modeling approach to map and categorize application features based on user requirements. The feature grouping consisted of mandatory and optional features designed to meet the diverse needs of users. The research methods used included literature study, data collection, requirement analysis, feature modeling, user interface modeling, and evaluation. The results of this study led to the development of a pharmacognosy data management system to manage data on medicinal plants, users, and reviews. The main features developed included user management and plant management, both of which were mandatory features for managing users and medicinal plants. Under Plant Management, there were optional features like plant part management and mandatory features like Plant Usage Management to support the management of medicinal plant usage information. Additionally, image data management was added as an alternative feature for managing images of medicinal plants. Thus, the system was expected to serve as a reference for software development that can adapt to user needs and the ongoing technological advancements.
