Paper Abstract:	Design science research (DSR) is a research paradigm with great potential in information systems (IS) research, but it may be challenging for researchers wanting to apply this relatively new approach, to choose and then apply a methodology to a specific problem. The aim of this paper is to describe an example of how the design science research paradigm, as well as a design science research framework, can be applied to a specific research problem. The ontological and epistemological assumptions of design science research, as well as different perspectives of design science research are discussed. The design science research framework, guidelines established by authors known for their contribution in design science research can offer researchers the opportunity to easily utilize this research paradigm in their research. A study investigating data modelling approaches in data warehouse is used as an example of the application of design science research. This example should provide students and researchers early in their research career with one example of how to apply all of these to do design science research.
