Systembasierter

Systembasierter is an attributive adjective used in German to describe methods, analyses, models or architectures that are based on or oriented toward the system as a whole. The term is formed from System and basierter (from basieren) and is common in technical, scientific and organizational texts. It signals a holistic or integrative perspective that foregrounds the structure, dynamics or data of the system rather than isolated components.

Usage and contexts

The phrase systembasierter Ansatz, systembasierte Analyse, systembasierte Modellierung or systembasierte Architektur appears across disciplines such as engineering, information technology, management and the natural and social sciences. In IT and software engineering it may denote designs or evaluations that consider the entire system, including interfaces, dependencies and interrelated subsystems. In organizational or management research it can indicate approaches that examine processes, workflows and feedback loops at the systemic level.

Relation to related terms

Systembasierter is related to but distinct from systemisch, which more broadly denotes a systemic or holistic orientation. While systemisch emphasizes overall systemic thinking, systembasierter specifically highlights that the subject is built on or grounded in the system itself, often implying data- or structure-based foundations.

Form and inflection

As an attributive adjective, systembasierter varies with gender and case (e.g., systembasierter Ansatz, systembasierte Analyse, das systembasierte Modell). The basic idea remains consistent: the focus is on systems as the basis for the method, model or evaluation being described.
