Amanda Derrick (University of Hertfordshire)
Title: "The Hertfordshire Observatory (not about stars!)"
Abstract:
"E-government is encouraging the development of regional and county
observatories. These observatories are web-based tools designed to
assist strategic decision making and to encourage the sharing and
dissemination of data and information. The Hertfordshire Prosperity
Forum has commissioned the University of Hertfordshire to develop an
observatory for Hertfordshire. The project team, Jill Hewitt, Director
of Information Strategy, Amanda Derrick, Project Manager and Robert
Ollenbuttel, Analyst/Programmer have developed a prototype and are now
involved in a year long project to develop the Hertfordshire
Observatory itself.
The aim is to bring together information and research from different
organizations, adding value to the data held by individual partners.
In particular the observatory will develop and increase access to the
innovative GIS based community mapping system based at Herts County
Council. Setting up the Observatory will involve collection of
datasets, reports, maps and other information specific to
Hertfordshire, around such themes as, Economy, Crime & Justice, Health
& Care, Education and Social Inclusion & Welfare. Access to the
Observatory will be open to all partners, although the more
confidential the data the more limited the access."
