AERIS Data Environment
System Development Needs
  • Core data management functions
  • Data collection
  • Data quality checking & pseudo-observation derivations
  • Data presentation and distribution
12
Project Relevance
  • Clarus and DUAP core systems are robust and serve as good basis for AERIS DCM component
  • Mobile data can be “easily” incorporated
  • Quality of system concepts and completeness of user needs depends on extensive stakeholder involvement more than any other factor
