<strong>D5</strong> <strong>Annex</strong> <strong>WP</strong> 7: <strong>ETIS</strong> DATABASE METHODOLOGY AND DATABASE USER<br />
MANUAL – PASSENGER TRANSPORT SUPPLY<br />
The work organisation of <strong>ETIS</strong> reference database is established in close cooperation with the<br />
external promotion 2 and contacts of <strong>ETIS</strong>. As part of this external promotion, support to the<br />
development of the <strong>ETIS</strong> reference database is an essential element.<br />
There are several aspects on which synchronisation of the two projects take place:<br />
· 4 workshops specifically related to the development of the <strong>ETIS</strong> reference database<br />
· Open Conferences in which dissemination of results takes place<br />
· Participation to the <strong>ETIS</strong> Steering group<br />
· Testing of the system with pilot users, i.e. also testing of results of the development of the<br />
<strong>ETIS</strong> reference database<br />
· Dealing with specific issues like legal and organisational aspects.<br />
In addition the <strong>ETIS</strong> reference database will be incorporated in the <strong>ETIS</strong> software tools 3 . The<br />
two most important outputs of the reference database development that serve as input to the<br />
system tools being developed are:<br />
1. The metadata concerning indicators and data sources serve.<br />
2. The final reference <strong>ETIS</strong> database<br />
Furthermore in order to make it possible for the software tool developers to continue their work<br />
while the reference database is being developed working material is being delivered which has<br />
also been used in the TENSTAC project. Intermediate results from the reference database<br />
development will be delivered as soon as it comes available. <strong>ETIS</strong> reference database<br />
construction will, where possible, use the results of G<strong>ETIS</strong> (GIS data) and TENSTAC<br />
(indicator definitions and use of a selection of the input data) and find cooperation where<br />
possible.<br />
The <strong>ETIS</strong> reference database project, <strong>ETIS</strong> promotion and external contacts project and <strong>ETIS</strong><br />
software tools project 4 have come up with a common and better harmonised focus during<br />
meetings from November 2003 up to January 2004 in order to be able to come up at the end of<br />
the three projects with one consistent and unique <strong>ETIS</strong> product. This product is a pilot and it is<br />
expected that one will continue to maintain and to develop the <strong>ETIS</strong> tool to the interest of the<br />
European transport policy.<br />
2 Promotion work is covered by the <strong>ETIS</strong>LINK project<br />
3 <strong>ETIS</strong> software tools are covered by the <strong>ETIS</strong>AGENT project<br />
4 respectively <strong>ETIS</strong>BASE, <strong>ETIS</strong>LINK and <strong>ETIS</strong>AGENT, the trilogy of <strong>ETIS</strong> projects<br />
