Developing a taxonomy, however, is a complex process that is often done in an ad hoc way. This research-in-progress paper uses the design science paradigm to develop a systematic method for taxonomy development in information systems. The method we propose uses an indicator or operational level model that combines both empirical to deductive and deductive to empirical approaches. We evaluate this method by using it to develop a taxonomy of mobile applications, which we have chosen because of their ever-increasing number and variety. The resulting taxonomy contains seven dimensions with fifteen characteristics. We demonstrate the usefulness of this taxonomy by analyzing a range of current and proposed mobile applications. From the results of this analysis we identify combinations of characteristics where applications are missing and thus are candidates for new and potentially useful applications."],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/62959"],["dc.language.iso","en"],["dc.relation.conference","17th ECIS 2009"],["dc.relation.eventend","2009-06-10"],["dc.relation.eventlocation","Verona, Italy"],["dc.relation.eventstart","2009-06-08"],["dc.relation.isbn","978-88-6129-391-5"],["dc.relation.ispartof","ECIS 2009 Proceedings."],["dc.title","Taxonomy Development in Information Systems: Developing a Taxonomy of Mobile Applications"],["dc.type","conference_paper"],["dc.type.internalPublication","no"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Such an increase can lead to an overwhelming situation for researchers, users, and developers who are trying to understand them from many different viewpoints. One way to create a more tractable treatment of both the current as well as the emerging mobile applications is to develop a taxonomy of mobile applications.
