Abstract: An information system, for a motor vehicle workshop, has a user input unit for a use to input at least one feature; a database contains data sets and at least one link table having fields for linking the data sets, each data set including at least one feature and at least one first allocation list having at least one allocation list element linking the data set with at least one field in the at least one link table; a selection unit to select from the database at least one data set having at least one of the features inputted as the first data set; and an allocation unit to evaluate the first allocation lists of the data sets and to select as second data sets those data sets whose first allocation list contains at least one allocation list element linking the respective data set with a field in the link table that is linked with the first data set by at least one allocation list element in the first allocation list of the first data set.
