General Notes

  • ask specific questions about audience questions
  • note more general problems as we encountered them & how we overcame them

Outline

  • 1. intro, problem overview - making data accessible - Kevin & Toby (3 minutes)
    • making data into information & the motivation behind it. there are lots of government & other web sites that show you one type of information, but we wanted a standard interface that facilitated comparison of different types of data and information.
    • what does that entail/how did we go about solving the problem?
      • realize data that needs comparison

  • 3. showing off - Colin & Alex (5 minutes)
    • temperature graph
    • degree days vs. temperature
    • air quality graph - good days over time
    • sorgum display - growth concentrations
    • open list... others?
