Database Overview Owner database contains owner profiles with associated metadata. Shelter database contains shelter profiles with associated metadata. Also contains personnel listings with authentication data. Animal database contains animal profiles with associated metadata. Also contains lists of valid species, breeds by species, colors and dispositions. Datamining registry contains statistical figures that are called by reporting functions and knowledge-based decisions. Statistical figures are stored by shelter, type of metadata and type of disposition. Please See Appendix May 6, 2010
Database Schema May 6, 2010
Reporting Comes In Three Varieties Trending gives statistical analyses over a given timeframe for any number of data factors (IE How many black cats adopted on October 31 st, 2009?). Occupancy returns lists of animals, limited via the various parameters, similar to performing a search using the website. At-risk evaluations allow polling of owners that have exceeded a limit on an “at-risk” activity and may be investigated. May 6, 2010

Break Even Analysis May 6, 2010
Return on Investment SPCA – More animals adopted – Less costs for feeding/euthanizing/body disposals of animals – More freed space – More donations from happy patrons – Profits from data mining Discover animal abuse – Animal factories – Negligent pet owners Statistical Data – Adoptions statistics (breed, shelter, location, etc) End-User (Pet Owner) – Increased chance of being reunited with lost pets – Find lost pets faster – Search available pets for adoption May 6, 2010
Benefits More pets in homes (less strays) “It is impossible to determine how many stray dogs and cats live in the United States; estimates for cats alone range up to 70 million. – that is almost as many as the number of cats that are in homes (80 million)” 1 Less pets are euthanized, lives are saved. Lost pets are reunited with owners. Promotes the SPCA - Donations -Save money Source: 1 ASPCA May 6, 2010
