Visualisation for different User Groups create user-specific ‘views’ / configure the GUI hide unnecessary information (select specific properties) highlight important information (change the order of appearance) change search interface (simplify or extend it) use (HTML-) templates (lists, tables, icons) create user-specific data bases extract only ‘wanted’ information from the central data pool Multiple configurations in the same application! Ensure no ‘information flood / overload’! The visualisation of the data is configurable for each user group: BEF Workshop - Riga / 27.-28.03.03 / 8Jahnke / Menger [German Federal Environmental Agency]
