Identify potential modifications to existing CEOS information tools that can be made to help improve their value for gap analyses ? including modifying the CEOS MIM Database to allow complex queries and gap analyses through the addition of an API. Develop a prototype online user interface using an API connected to the MIM.
August 2018: The SEO has been working with ESA and Symbios to develop improvements to the CEOS MIM Database that will allow enhanced gap analyses. The new features will allow custom queries for current and future mission parameters and allow more detailed gap assessments. In the past, much of the MIM data was not in a database format (only in text fields) so queries were limited. This task should be complete by late 2018.
September 2019:
An initial version of the toolkit has been released here: https://github.com/gamedaygeorge/ceos-db-toolkit. Will be marked as complete, and documented on the CEOS DB website to seek user testing and feedback.
