Researcher Use Cases

jonathanwang017 edited this page Oct 23, 2015 · 1 revision

The EDAM tool is intended to be used to show biodiversity completeness and identify regions missing biodiversity data to encourage research collaboration. To do this, researchers can view biodiversity by region, seeing what data is openly available, and find regions with similar biodiversity. The tool will obtain open biodiversity data and estimate total data to determine how much data is missing.

###Use Case - Scientist

  • Check biodiversity completeness in a region
  • Identify comparable regions, etc.
  • Select a region -> show biodiversity completeness data
  • Select biodiversity completeness -> link to/open details regarding biodiversity

###Use Case - Research Director

  • Identify regions with similar biodiversity for research collaboration
  • Locate regions with little biodiversity data
  • Select region -> show biodiversity completeness overview and biodiversity summary info (including similar regions)

###Proposal Wireframe

####Region Summary Location, climate, geography, similar regions etc

####Biodiversity Completion Estimate total biodiversity and display percentage of open/locked/missing data
Give breakdown by genus/family(?)

####Biodiversity Summary Research history, findings
Regions with similar biodiversity (species, etc)
