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.

Resource Plan

Situation Summary

The project is being re-planned to fit available resource. Still waiting for Laser-Scan documentation to discover what work will be required and what will be provided by IGIS 3.1+.

Situation Report (12 August'98)

Re-planning, hardware and software acquisition are the current tasks and man-days are adequate.

Resource Allocated (12 August'98)

Philip Sargent is available as much as possible until November 30th 1998. Taking JRC closed days and holiday not yet taken into account, this means 57 days from August 13th. However, JRC administration (ongoing and on termination of contract) will take about 13 days, AIS catchments tasks 5 days, OGC Vienna meeting 4 days, Visiting Scientist final report 6 days. The result is only 29 days work available which will have to cover report and paper production too.

Paul Smits is available at a rate to be determined. Currently he is intended only to work on his C++ code and integration, but the architecture (being designed) may have no requirement for this capability if it can be done entirely in LULL scripts.

Previous Project Attempt: Situation Report

Of the 71 man-days allocated, 4 man days have been spent in project management (attempting to acquire hardware, establishing the project documentation).

32% (23 man days) of the resource allocated has been expended on other tasks and is no longer available: 50 - 4 elapsed days since April 10th (at 50%) of Philip Sargent when he was unable to proceed due to lack of hardware.

Yet available, 44 man-days (approx., holiday accounting is not exact) i.e. 65% of the total project.

Previous Project Attempt: Resource Allocated

Philip Sargent is available at a 50% rate from April 10th until November 30th 1998. The JRC site is open for approx. 160 days over this period.

From project initatiation Philip Sargent is in work for 160 man-days less holidays not yet taken, i.e. 142 man days. 50% of this is 71 man-days. His other 50% is taken up with OpenGIS^® standardisation research and development, seminar schedule for OO GIS and OpenGIS^® dissemination, coverage plan for AIS Unit etc.
During November he is not expected to be available for software work, only preparation of reports and documents, because of administrative constraints to do with the ending of his position at the JRC.

Paul Smits is available at a rate to be determined.
