【 摘 要 】

Within the information systems (IS) research discipline, conceptual modeling is widely discussed as a fundamental task for IS-development as it leads to shared domain knowledge between IS developers and business personnel. As well as IS-research modeling takes place within a multi-disciplinary andmulti-cultural context. Thereby, the (mostly implicit) assumptions made by different researchers may vary fundamentally. As a result, it is important to expose the epistemological assumptions which underlie the work of different participants. Thus, we discuss epistemological assumptions which are basic to ISresearch giving the example of the consensus-oriented approach.
