Weekly Report - Week 5, 2 June 2000
What I've done
- Refinement of the data model based on feedback
- Overview/intro presentation to AUSTLIT indexers
- Investigation of visualisation options (graphical and
tree based), including the Smithsonean Java-based experiment
and hyperbolic and fisheye view browsers
- Away for 2 days talking to ASIC about XML
What I haven't done but need to do soon!
- Get the mini web site onto a shared network drive so that
others can more easily add and update documents.
- yuck! it looks like this means moving the site to
an ancient Novell server which only understands 8.3 file
names - hmm... must explore other options!
- Start thinking about data maintenance user interface
requirements.
Next week
- Document all the relationships between entities in fairly
complete detail
-
Continue discussions on and refinement of the data model.
-
Continue thinking/discussions on visualisations of the
complex relationships - trying to come up with a browse
model which users will find intuitive and useful.
-
Start thinking about data maintenance user interface
requirements.
Summary
-
Going fine - already getting really useful feedback on the datamodel,
and expect to get a lot more next week!
