User requirements - 1 Lack of user input, incomplete and ambiguous requirements are the major reasons why IT projects do not deliver the desired functionality on schedule … (Binh)

User requirements - 2 Real question from news-server: Does anybody know a good website where I can get information about projected global timber demand especially for tropical timber and for certified timber. G.A.O.F. List Jan 19, 2001

User requirements - 3 … Particularly, I am interested in the following questions: 1) approx. carbon storage per Hectar? 2) approx. emission of carbon dioxide resulting from logging? 3) approx. price($) to a megagram of carbon in, added to or removed from the atmosphere? 4) approaches to quantify ($) biodiversity per hectar If anyone can help me with some rough figueres or know some studies I would be more than happy! G.A.O.F

GFIS supplies the base data, the cognitive process of data usage rests with the user.

Identified User Requirements - 1 Researcher from Developing Country locate institutions locate individuals locate research topics at institutes locate funding opportunities locate potential partners for research Forest Inventorist find out if Forest Inventory exists - by country methods used in Forest Inventory Carbon sequestration

Identified User Requirements - 2 Forest Economist Statistics Forest Ownership Statistics Forest Property Statistics Forest Enterprises Costs in Forestry - breakdown of costs Revenue in different categories of forest enterprises Market price of forest products forest accountancy data networks economics of close-to-nature forestry net return of forestry production non-wood products of forestry (physical and monetary) economic evaluation of forest services at different scales forest regulation schemes

Identified User Requirements - 3 Forest Ecologist soil data, qualified with coordinates, time free-ware simulation models Forest Politician Documents (e.g. Kyoto, IPCC) General Criteria & Indicators Strategies for C sequestration Afforestation - Deforestation - Reforestation

Identified User Requirements - 4 Forest Chamber Forest Condition Soil condition forest type input site parameters - retrieve suitable species legislative documents

Identified Data Types bibliographic data Data for an area with specific attributes Data for sites with specific attributes Time series of data Data for persons / institutes economic data Usancen

General Ways to define User Requirements TF members identify needs and shop for ideas among colleagues Provide a number of datasets and let the user play ‘hidden interview’ Use and comment on existing prototype (only 1 user in January 2001!)

GFIS users Everybody wants to retrieve good data, but who is willing or entitled to share (provide) his data? ‘’Copyright on data?’’

Actions of GFIS Users Presently the User can LOGIN, and POST, MODIFY his objects How can IUFRO guarantee for the quality of provided data?
