More technical info on the Eastin architectureIndicators of partners’ performanceIndicators of project performance

6 not urgent (deadline: next annual review)

Annual Review 2011 – ETNA Project

R1: technical work has to be properly documentedWill be done in D1.6

R2: a dissemination plan has to be developedStart discussion in Linz

R2: reschedule WP7 (validation)Start discussion in Linz

R4: ETNA website has to be fully accessibleDone: now XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS 3.0 compliant

R5: coehrent methodology is needed for ontology developmentDone: redefinition of WP4 and WP5 scope

ETNA Review: recommendations/responses

R6: resubmit D2.2 (more detailed analysis of search behaviour) Will be done in Month 24

R7: resubmit D1.3 with addendumDone May 10, 2012

R8: each partner should elaborate an exploitation planStart discussion in Linz, then everybody’s homework

R9: more joint work with ATIS4all5th workshop to be be organised jointly, in Milano February 2013As far as possible, joint dissemination plan

R10: involve other stakeholders, inside and outside EUShould be addressed in the dissemination plan

ETNA Review: recommendations/responses

Timing and participantsBrussels, Mar 27, 2012FDGCO, TECNOSITE

Main outcomesOverall successful (“continue without modifications”) 4 recommendations (not urgent)

Increase clusteringDesign functionalities that encourage user inputCoordinate forthcoming workshopsImprove user rating functionality (harmonisation of products identifiers; products rating interface; multilingual issues)

Annual Review 2011 – ETNATIS Cluster

Clustering: the user rating prototype

Clustering: the user rating prototype

Two introductory questionsQ1: How long have you been actually using this assistive product?Q2: What is the term that best describes your perspective with this assistive product?

Three core questionsQ3: How satisfied are you with how effective this assistive device is (the degree to which it meets your needs) ?Q4: How satisfied are you with how easy is it to use this assistive product ?Q5: How satisfied are you with the ease in adjusting (fixing, fastening, configuring, etc.) of this assistive product ?

Five additional core questions, in case of products having hardwareQ6: How satisfied are you with the dimensions (size, length, height, width, etc.) of this assistive product ? Q7: How satisfied are you with the weight of this assistive product ?Q8: How satisfied are you with how safe and secure this assistive product is ? Q9: How satisfied are you with the durability (endurance, resistance to wear, etc.) of your assistive product ?Q10: How satisfied are you with how comfortable this assistive product is ?

User Rating Tool: 10 questions

User rating prototype

items judged by the rater as “non‐applicable” for this product are 

displayed with empty stars, and the statement “non applicable”

Personal profile

I have been using this product formore than one week

I look at this product mainly as a professional in health care, social services or education

(not satisfied at all)(not satisfied at all)(very satisfied) (quite satisfied)(more or less satisfied)(not satisfied at all)(very satisfied)(not very satisfied)

Old WP4 scope (DoW)Ontology of products > ontology of “items that stand alone as assistive solutions”.

Old WP5 scope (DoW)Ontology of components > ontology of “items that don’t stand alone but can be assembled to other items to become assistive or e-accessibility solutions”

New WP4 scopeOntology of all ETNA resources > taxonomies to be used in building up the ontology

New WP5 scopeOntology management tools > tools that convert such taxonomies into a proper ontology and allow its maintenance over time

The ontology issue

What do we expect from this workshop

To finalise the taxonomies (WP4)D5.1 (preparatory material for the ETNA ontology)WG1 (basic data set for all resources) > Instrumentum LaborisWG2 (detailed description ICT AT products) > Instrumentum Laboris

To start design of the ontology tools (WP5)CERTH DEMOWG3 (technical implementation issues)

To set the ground for successSession 5: validation, dissemination, sustainability, exploitation

To better frame the project within a wider contextSession 1: ATIS4All, EASTIN, EASTIN-CL, CLOUD4All..

Thanks for your kind attention!
