With so much confusion around use case modeling, software developers may be reluctant to apply it. However, use cases are easy to apply and have great benefits even in research settings with nonprofessional software developers involved. We report on our experience on this within an innovative tourist information system developed in a research setting of an ongoing Horizon 2020 project named Promotion of Rural Museums and Heritage Sites in the Vicinity of European Pilgrimage Routes (rurAllure). The resulting use case model comprises forty use cases supported by class diagrams, use case diagrams, sequence diagrams, as well as by the domain model and dictionary. Three quarters of use cases have been implemented at least to some extent. Writing use cases provoked intense communication, which helped consolidate the system architecture. The use cases helped validate and better understand the GUI form wireframes designed beforehand and get quickly to a consistent implementation of the system that can be experimented with further in different ways. Finally, the forthcoming extensive system and user experience testing will be guided by the use case model. The paper also exposes the domain model and dictionary along with selected use cases and the hierarchy of user and system actors, which may be useful as such or as a stimulus for the development of other innovative tourist information systems.

由于用例建模存在如此多的混乱，软件开发人员可能不愿意应用它。然而，用例很容易应用，即使在非专业软件开发人员参与的研究环境中也有很大的好处。我们报告了我们在创新旅游信息系统中的经验，该系统是在正在进行的 Horizo​​n 2020 项目的研究环境中开发的，该项目名为促进欧洲朝圣路线附近的乡村博物馆和遗产地 (rurAllure)。生成的用例模型包含四十个由类图、用例图、序列图以及领域模型和字典支持的用例。四分之三的用例至少在一定程度上得到了实施。编写用例引发了激烈的沟通，这有助于巩固系统架构。这些用例有助于验证和更好地理解预先设计的 GUI 形式线框，并快速实现系统的一致实现，并可以以不同的方式进一步进行实验。最后，即将进行的广泛系统和用户体验测试将以用例模型为指导。本文还公开了领域模型和字典以及选定的用例以及用户和系统参与者的层次结构，这可能有用或可以刺激其他创新旅游信息系统的开发。
