OO GIS at Ispra

Project Vision: To establish at Ispra a permanent centre of expertise in object-oriented GIS technologies based around an in-house developed and maintained OO-GIS research application based on a commercial OO-GIS product.

Change Control Plan

Change control was not initiated at plan initiation as it was not expected that this project would require it. Change control on mission, schedule, task list, resourcing and deliverables was established on June 26th 1998.

Change control currently does not use a version control system but is implemented manually by Philip Sargent. All controlled documents are published on the AIS Unit internal website (as recommended for modern software development practice) where standard Unix backup procedures provide recovery (and historic authentication if required - at some effort). An improved system will be implemented if necessary.
 

Version Management

Old versions of documents under change control are not deleted from the web-server. They are renumbered before they are replaced, e.g. the first version of this document is available as change-control-plan-0.html, the latest is change-control-plan.html.

Old versions of documents can be retrieved by ftp (assuming you have read-access) using
machine: unit.ais.sai.jrc.it
path: /internet-services/web/unit.ais.sai.jrc.it/people/philip/local/moolu

Do not attempt to put files on to the web using ftp, use the publish command in Netscape Composer.

When replacing a change-controlled document, you need to find out what number it is so that you can re-publish it with a changed filename. This number (at the bottom of the document, if greater than zero)  must be updated when you republish a new document and the current change control version list must be updated.
