Go-FEWS!“Team up – consolidate – uniform”

Speaker: Roger de Crook, HDSR

GebruikersOverleg-FEWS =

the collective of users from water boards

using FEWS as a tool for

(1) data management of monitoring activities

&

(2) model-based predictions towards decision support

GO-FEWS ?

History2009: 6 water boards � 2014: 16 water boards

Since 2012 Deltares and configurators involved

GoalInform, gather, collaborate in the use & development of FEWS

MeetingsSeveral times per year, on different locations

NL: Main focus on FEWS as Water Information System (WIS)

Start of GO-FEWS

Uitwisseling van functies en configuratievoorbeelden

Shared by GO-FEWS

Exchange of configurationsvia FTP (hosted by Deltares)

Hardware/software specs (2013)Why do some organisations experience more problems than others

Parameter definition (2014)Flavors in config, structure & display of the names of time series

Single point of configuration for location info (2015)Attribute-Sync between databases with different object definition

Team up in new developments:

∗ Joint procurements

∗ Testing new functionality by multiple organisations

∗ Spreading the costs among multiple organisations

GO-FEWS process

Consolidate functional demands:

∗ Conditional aggregation (2012)

∗ Selection-specific calculation (2013)

∗ Time-dependant locations (2014) � Break-out: Andre Grijze

∗ Enhance robustness of transformations

∗ Display of memory use

GO-FEWS technical

Uniform individual knowledge:

∗ Low-key mutual support among members

∗ Demonstrations of each other configuration

∗ Explanation of use in daily practise (“added value”)

GO-FEWS social

Collective speaker towards:

∗ Deltares

∗ Consultancy enterprises (configurators)

∗ Other platforms (eg. WISKI, Lizard, HydroNet)

GO-FEWS united

Andre Grijze (Deltares):

“Better coordinated developments due to GOFEWS”

“Induced developments are discussed & tested directlyby the representatives of participating waterboards”

“Therefore resulting in generic solutions while stillfitting the demands of end-users”

GO-FEWS experienced

2012/2013:∗ 1) conditional aggregation (2013.01)∗ 2) show/hide plots & time series in graphs (2013.01)∗ 3) selection-specific calculation (2013.02)∗ 4) time-dependant locations (2014.02)∗ 5) related graph <postponed by discussion on data tracebility>

2014:∗ 1) viewing time series produced by institutes <functional design>

∗ 2) more possibilities for primary validation (2014.02)∗ 3) midnight as 24:00:00 instead of 00:00:00 (2014.02)∗ 4) timemarker in graph (2014.02)∗ 5) expansions in order to search/filter, transform and compare

Developed by GO-FEWS

2014/2015:∗ 1) primary validation for non-equidistant time series∗ 2) edit window for validation rules via CSV-manager∗ 3) switch colors between default & user-defined∗ 4) more date/time options in filename during export∗ 5) legend options for longterm scroller

Ordered by GO-FEWS

2015:∗ 1) related graph∗ 2) data tracebility window∗ 3) validation state∗ 4) viewing grids & scalar time series produced by institutes

� via OPeNDAP <No storage or new time series records in FEWS-database>

∗ 5) exhanced scatterplot∗ 6) different storage approach for longitudinal profile display∗ 7) report of manual edits∗ 8) URL in designated column∗ 9) loop possibility within XML <Don’t Repeat Yourself = DRY-principle>
