Summary

Set-up and implementation

The survey was carried out among the users of the ICPDR Information System in order to
assess the hardware and software equipment, network connection and the users' experience
with computers, the internet and the ICPDR Information System.

The survey consisted of two electronic questionnaires and two automated system tests. The
survey results were collected in the database of the ICPDR Information System. The analysis
was also generated from the database.

Part 1: Hardware/Software:
a) Questionnaire (Word Form)
b) Online test, instructions provided as PDF document
Part 2: Internet Connection Speed:
Online test at ICPDR website, instructions provided as PDF document
Part 3: Information System:
Questionnaire (Word Form)

The survey was distributed by email on 12 June 2002 among all Heads of Delegations,
Representatives of Participating States and Expert Group Members of the ICPDR.
The deadline for submitting results was set to the end of August 2002. After this, reminders
were sent out and further results have been collected.

The questionnaires (part 1a and 3) were prepared as forms with MS Word. This way, the
users could answer most questions by choosing an option from a drop-down list or clicking on
a checkbox. Additionally, some text fields for open questions were included.
The completed questionnaires were sent back. The form data was saved directly into comma-
delimited text files which in turn were imported into the database.

Information on the hardware (part 1b) was collected using a free online test
(http://www.pcpitstop.com). The users carried out this test from their workplace PC and
mailed the result page back. The relevant figures of the result page have been manually
entered into an Excel sheet which was then imported into the database.

The online connection test (part 2) was hosted on the ICPDR web server to test the speed of
the connection between each user's PC and the ICPDR server. For this purpose, a specific
application was developed which measures the download time of a file and stores the result in
the database automatically. Users carried out the test several times to examine how
download times differ over time. The test can be used again at any time and is accessible at
this location: http://www.icpdr.org/speedtest

The analysis of the survey was defined as database queries of the survey data, which are
also stored in the database. A special application was developed which uses the survey data
and the stored analytical queries to generate the tables and charts shown in the following
chapters. By separating data, logic and presentation like this, it was possible to work on the
survey analysis and presentation already in paral el to the collection of survey data.
Furthermore, it was possible to combine the survey data with other data in the Information
System (like user information, access logs). This framework can also serve as a tool for a
repeated survey or other surveys.

Results

Participation
The survey was sent to 128 users. 56 users (44%) responded to the survey, this is more than
60% of the active users of the Information System. Participation varied considerably from
country to country, from 0 to nearly 80%. But on group-level the participation was more even,
at least 6 users of each Expert Group participated.

Hard- and Software equipment
The average user has exclusive access to a Desktop PC, which is equipped with a 500 MHz
processor, 128 MB memory, 10 GB hard disk, a 17" monitor with a screen resolution of
800x600 pixels, as well as a b/w laser printer. The most common operating system is
Windows 98, and Internet Explorer, Acrobat Reader, MS Office and a ZIP utility are installed.
This is not a state-of-the art system, but fairly enough for working with a web-based system.
However, several users having inferior systems need new equipment.

Internet connection
Most users connect to the internet through their organisation's network (LAN). Download
rates vary widely, not only from country to country, but also within the countries. 20% of the
users only achieve download-rates of up to 5 KB/s and 40% of more than 30 KB/s, the rest is
in-between. Having documents with 300 KB on average, such a download would take one
minute or more in the first, and 10 seconds in the latter case.

Users' experience
Almost all users have more than 5 years experience in using computers, and also at least 2
years experience in using the internet. They use it on a daily basis, most of all for their work,
reading news and downloading software. The ICPDR Information System is only used
occasionally, and less than 30 minutes per visit.

Users' attitude
Most of the user regard the system as important to their work within the ICPDR and even
much more important in the next 5 years. Users state, that they would like to use the system
frequently and that using it can be learned quickly and does not need the support of a
technical person. They also agree with statements, that it is easy to use and well integrated,
but not to such an extend as to the previous statements.

Evaluation of the system
The usefulness and up-to-dateness of information and the ease of navigation are the most
important general aspects for the users, but the satisfaction with these aspects lacks
considerably behind. Finding documents is the most important task the system is used for.
Also quite important are expert databases, file sharing, event calendar, addresses, data
export, analytical tools and related/filtered information from other sources. In contrast, the
satisfaction with finding documents in the system is the lowest. Also the satisfaction with the
other important tasks mentioned above lacks behind in relation to their importance.

Expectations on support
Users would most of all like support by email, followed by web-based support and eLearning
as well as workshops. Training is less important, and telephone support has no importance at
all.

Requested enhancements
Enhancements which are requested the most are e-mail notifications of new documents and
events. A keyword or topic index, the possibility of requesting documents to be sent by email
and group mail (messaging) functions are also top-ranked. Still, most of the already existing
features gained a higher importance score than these enhancements.

From the deviation in answers and individual comments to the open questions, it becomes
obvious that the expectations from and the satisfaction with the system is very diverse among
the users.

All detailed results are presented in the chapter at page 9.
Some derived recommendations are given in the following chapter.

Recommendations

Hardware
Based on the Hardware Assessment and Priority Lists (see chapter Individual Results), and
after decision on a Standard Computer Configuration, a purchase plan can be compiled
taking also into account the project budget, UN purchase procedures and rules, and
restrictions and requirements at the national and organisational level.
Network Connection
The local situation of users having a slow internet connection (see chapter Individual Results)
should be investigated in order to find out if there are any options for improvement of the
connection speed, e.g. by optimising software configuration of the local system or by instal ing
new network equipment (e.g. router, etc.).
Training
The hesitant participation at the survey and the user's indication of a rather low importance of
training suggests that awareness-raising activities both for the Information System itself
and for the training programme should be undertaken before the actual training.

The mixed expectations by the users, reflected in the individual statements and in the large
deviation in the questions, indicate that there is no common view of the goals and
functions
of the Information System. Therefore, the Permanent Secretariat should revise
the Information Management Strategy (from the presentation at the Sinaia Plenary 1999) and
adapt it to the current situation. The objectives, expected benefits and principles of the
Information System should be clarified.
Building on this strategy, the "institutional set-up" of the Information System should be laid out
in short but precise guidelines and SOPs, describing tasks and responsibilities within the
Information System (e.g. for administration of user accounts and access privileges,
publication of content, update of databases, etc.).

To ensure the effectiveness of the training, the nomination of facilitators is recommended.
Facilitators are selected users who have special tasks within a certain area of the IS, which
also means towards a certain group of users. There should be facilitators on Expert Group
level and country level. The tasks of the facilitators could be to coordinate, i.e. ensure
availability of relevant information in the appropriate form and place and on time, help and
encourage users to contribute information, review and edit contributions, delete redundant or
out-dated information, summarize content, etc. The detailed tasks of the facilitators should be
further discussed, agreed upon and defined in TORs.

The training programme should be launched in two phases: an initial training workshop for
facilitators ("training of trainers"), followed by one user workshop in each country.
Presentation of the strategy and institutional set-up should be included in the training
programme as an introductory module. Technical training modules can be customized to the
defined roles in the system, i.e. not everyone has to learn everything. Facilitators obviously
need a more advanced training and should be prepared to take an active role in the training
sessions of the 2nd phase.

Web-based and email user-support should be enhanced (see development below) and
eLearning modules (tutorials for specific tasks) should be developed to prepare, accompany
and follow-up the training.

Development
To improve navigation, the functionality of the navigation bar should be optimized (the base-
code is outdated, newer techniques can be implemented).

The search functions can be improved by implementing a search function by Document
number, date of approval or other meta-information. But this feature depends on correctness
and completeness of this meta-information (guidelines for publishing documents are
necessary).

A central and up-to-date address database is essential for many applications. Such a
database serves as one source of information for a searchable address book, group member
lists, meeting participants lists, mailing lists, email notifications, etc. A feasible solution for this
tasks should be developed.

Email notification of new documents and events are the most requested features and should
be implemented with high priority. Details of this feature (e.g. how is such a notification
triggered, how are recipients identified, etc.) have yet to be specified. Group messaging
functions (ranked at no. 5 of enhancements) should be considered as an integrated function.

The automatic sending of documents by email on request of a user (ranked at no. 4 of
enhancements) can be achieved with additional software from Oracle or other sources. The
possible options should be evaluated and tested.

To encourage feedback and facilitate support, a simple support application should be
developed. This would consist of an online form were users can request help in a structured
way. Administrators (and facilitators) can reply to these questions in the same application. All
communication is additionally transmitted by email. The solved questions with answers will be
viewable by all users as an additional source of online help (knowledge base).

A recurring problem is that users forget their password. This prevents them from using the
system, as they have to write an email and wait for a response. This problem can be solved
very efficiently with a function to retrieve the password by email. This enables the user to
continue working with the IS immediately and eases administration overhead.

Due to some criticism of the availability of the system (and also because of the increased
importance of availability if the AEWS is integrated), server monitoring should be
implemented. This monitoring will ensure that the system administrator is immediately
alarmed (by email or SMS) when a system failure occurs and can therefore take the
necessary steps to minimize downtime. Statistics will be kept to give a clear picture of the
total availability of the system (also to the users). Furthermore, scheduled downtimes (due to
software upgrades or power-cuts) should be announced in advance to users by email.

More recommendations
Another important outcome from the survey is that usefulness and up-to-dateness of
information
have a considerable potential for improvement. To achieve such an
improvement, training or development will not be enough. The nomination of facilitators ­ as
already mentioned above relating to the training programme - could be useful in this respect.

Building a topic or keyword index (ranked at no. 3 of enhancements) can already be
achieved with the built-in functions of Oracle Portal, no additional development is necessary.
This is more a content-related task, as new and already existing documents have to be
indexed manually by users who are familiar with the content of the documents (e.g.
facilitators). As a prerequisite, a list of topics or keywords has to be defined and also
maintained in the future.

To further improve user's ability of finding documents and for the improvement of expert
databases
, more specific feedback from the users is needed. This kind of feedback can be

7

obtained during the training courses, through an improved feedback system and through the
facilitators.

Further content-related recommendations/requests from users which should be
considered and discussed:
Ř Short and easy to read summaries of main results and planned actions or disasters
(targeted to members of government, stake holders, decision-makers)
Ř Simpler structure
Ř General and compact information for the public,
Ř More attractive public area
Ř Links to WFD related information
Ř Expert level of information. New findings in sampling, analytical and information
technologies
Ř General information on countries of the DRPC, national information
Ř Task specific information (e.g. restoration of damaged ecosystems, DBAM, imission
limits etc. were mentioned)

Q1.10 Processor clock speed (MHz)
Recommended minimum: 500 MHz
Current systems usually have 900-2200 MHz.

In a computer, clock speed refers to the number of pulses per second generated by an oscillator that sets the tempo for
the processor. Clock speed is usually measured in MHz (megahertz, or millions of pulses per second) or GHz (gigahertz,
or billions of pulses per second).
Clock speed is one measure of computer "power," but it is not always directly proportional to the performance level.

Q1.11 Memory Size (RAM) in MB
Recommended Minimum: 128 MB
Current systems usually have 256 or 512 MB RAM.

RAM (random access memory) is the place in a computer where the operating system, application programs, and data in
current use are kept so that they can be very quickly reached by the computer's processor. The more RAM you have, the
less frequently the computer has to access instructions and data from the more slowly accessed hard disk form of
storage.

Q1.13 Screen resolution (hor. x vert. pixels)
Recommended minimum: 800x600 pixel
Currently, screen resolutions of 800x600 and 1024x768 are most common.

Resolution is the number of pixels (individual points of color) contained on a display monitor, expressed in terms of the
number of pixels on the horizontal axis and the number on the vertical axis. The sharpness of the image on a display
depends on the resolution and the size of the monitor.
Knowledge of the size of users screens can play an integral role in the development of content for WWW sites as site
designers need to optimize graphics to fit the majority of user's screens.

Q1.14 Color depth
Color on a computer is a function of the number of bits available to describe the shade of each pixel on the screen. The
color depth is indicated as bits per pixel. More bits per pixel provide more colors.
24 bit color is referred to as true color or full color because 16.7 million colors (224) is enough to provide even the most
subtle shading. 8 bit is typically recognized as a minimum requirement to provide reasonably natural looking color
reproduction of complex images.

Q3.13 What would help you in better using the IS for tasks mentioned
above?

Answers
Web site should be always available (in the past half a year very often unavailable)
Having some more experiences using the Internet, user interface in national language, homepage customizable on
group level to have relevant information at one glance.
Short, easy to read summaries of the main results of the expert groups, of main project results, of planned actions
(new tasks, planned projects, future public relation events, etc.)
I need up to date information and documents before the meetings in time, I would need easier navigation
stronger computer
More performed computer and increasing of the speed connection
easier orientation in the IS
searching of topics, keywords, dividing documents to the sections (horizontal and vertical) concerning expert groups
and topics, signalise the new things on web-site, date of upgrade version of document, signed old versions, add the
sign of importance for chosen expert groups, keywords to document and searching, etc.
if more links on WFD related information were available if more ICPDR members and guests would use the IS
The main item is the time available relative to the tasks I have to perform. ... The time I spend for the EG is around 25
- 30% of my yearly workload, but within the year it varies tremendously. Based on this the main problem I have to
resolve via DANUBIS is to obtain some information I do not yet hold. Technical items are from my point of view of
minor importance compared with the 'soft side', i.e. the timely input of content. This cannot be furnished by the
administrator, it has to come from the users themselves. In regard to this item I understand that I myself am 'called' to
participate. As the situation stands I subscribe to the view that an 'active informing' via e-mails is assuring the reaching
of all partners to a bigger extent than the obligation of the addressee to search DANUBIS for news.
Having in mind that I'm a resent user of the IS, a need more time to explore to be able to answer this question
ability of my current PC limited my using IS
training and more time
better computer
more use this IS
better availability and quick respond
user workshop
solving problems with password
A function to inform people via e-mail that an online discussion has started.
Some simple GIS tool with maps.

Expert level of information. New findings in sampling, analytical, information technologies, used in the river basin.
Members of the government, stake holders, heads of the departments need short (!) and quick (!) information about
Danube survey, disasters like floods, spills of hazardous substances or just about the TNMN (without knowing that it is
called so) and the information needed should be up to date but not more than half a page; that's what I miss in the IS
so that I have to put together the information on half a page in case the information is required.
A list of all expert group members
imission limits
geographically located information (GIS maps)
for me I would like specific task concerning to wetlands, nature protection, restoration of damaged ecosystems, EU
legislation.
general information on countries of the DRPC
No answer, as there is no time to reason
Having in mind that I'm a resent user of the IS, a need more time to explore to be able to answer this question
link to EU Water Director sources
DBAM, updating of the rating curves
a better telephone and address book, the 'workbook' (discussion in Prague)
I did not find the text of the Convention on cooperation for protection and sustainable use of the Danube river and
information on cooperation between ICPDR and ICPBS (Memorandum of understanding between the ICPBS and the
ICPDR and Declaration on water and water related ecosystems in the wider Black Sea region etc.).
simple GIS


Q3.15 Which important task/function is not covered by the IS?
Answers
Information platform with new EU-papers, easy links to EU-directives, etc.
A link, which presents a summary of the most important contents in german language
Sorry, I don't know this time.
No answer, as there is no time to reason

Q3.18 What one thing would you change about this IS?
Answers
On the beginning of homepage of the ICPDR I would public information about important characteristics of the Danube
and a map of the Danube river basin with all countries.
Having in mind that I'm a resent user of the IS, a need more time to explore to be able to answer this question
The improvement of the participation of country representatives and experts in IS actualization is necessary



Q3.19 Any further comments
Answers
too much information about too many things, too much possibilities. I am not capable to make a selection and I am
afraid I am not the only one. My opinion and evaluation is based on rare experiences.
To my mind the internal area is very well designed for experts/internal users, but I can imagine that the public area is
hard to handle for persons who are not insiders. Public users - I imagine - have certainly more general questions, not
so much administrative ones (organisations, tasks, groups ...) but simple ones about the Danube, the discharge,
emissions in general, disasters of the past etc. Of course most of these subjects can be found somewhere inside the
folders; for insiders it's quite easy but take an uninformed test person with simple questions ....the design of the public
area could be made more attractive, with key words of general interest, easier structured and it's the public who is not
surveyed now!
Allow as large flexibility in using this IS as possible, i.e. do not expect that users will use it the same way or that they
should be forced to use it the same way or with the same frequency
I would look forward to some information on level of national PIACs

Observations during the survey

Many users did not react on the first survey invitation which was sent out by email. By the end
of August 2002, only 20% of the addressed users submitted their results. Some of these
users had been away from their office. Others stated they are already overworked or that they
can not contribute to the survey. Some users seemingly did not get the first email, reaching
some users was very difficult or impossible. Nevertheless, by sending out individual emails
and ­ in some cases ­ phoning the users directly, the participation could be doubled in the
end.

Many users also had problems with logging into the system. They either forgot their
password, did not have any information on their user account or sometimes have not even
been aware of a password-protected area. These problems became only obvious after
actively asking the users, why they did not log in so far. Most of the users who faced such
problems did not act on themselves to get access to the system.

Additional feedback and suggestions for improvement of the system emerged also during the
communication with the users for gathering survey results

Summary

Set-up and implementation

The survey was carried out among the users of the ICPDR Information System in order to
assess the hardware and software equipment, network connection and the users' experience
with computers, the internet and the ICPDR Information System.

The survey consisted of two electronic questionnaires and two automated system tests. The
survey results were collected in the database of the ICPDR Information System. The analysis
was also generated from the database.

Part 1: Hardware/Software:
a) Questionnaire (Word Form)
b) Online test, instructions provided as PDF document
Part 2: Internet Connection Speed:
Online test at ICPDR website, instructions provided as PDF document
Part 3: Information System:
Questionnaire (Word Form)

The survey was distributed by email on 12 June 2002 among all Heads of Delegations,
Representatives of Participating States and Expert Group Members of the ICPDR.
The deadline for submitting results was set to the end of August 2002. After this, reminders
were sent out and further results have been collected.

The questionnaires (part 1a and 3) were prepared as forms with MS Word. This way, the
users could answer most questions by choosing an option from a drop-down list or clicking on
a checkbox. Additionally, some text fields for open questions were included.
The completed questionnaires were sent back. The form data was saved directly into comma-
delimited text files which in turn were imported into the database.

Information on the hardware (part 1b) was collected using a free online test
(http://www.pcpitstop.com). The users carried out this test from their workplace PC and
mailed the result page back. The relevant figures of the result page have been manually
entered into an Excel sheet which was then imported into the database.

The online connection test (part 2) was hosted on the ICPDR web server to test the speed of
the connection between each user's PC and the ICPDR server. For this purpose, a specific
application was developed which measures the download time of a file and stores the result in
the database automatically. Users carried out the test several times to examine how
download times differ over time. The test can be used again at any time and is accessible at
this location: http://www.icpdr.org/speedtest

The analysis of the survey was defined as database queries of the survey data, which are
also stored in the database. A special application was developed which uses the survey data
and the stored analytical queries to generate the tables and charts shown in the following
chapters. By separating data, logic and presentation like this, it was possible to work on the
survey analysis and presentation already in paral el to the collection of survey data.
Furthermore, it was possible to combine the survey data with other data in the Information
System (like user information, access logs). This framework can also serve as a tool for a
repeated survey or other surveys.

Results

Participation
The survey was sent to 128 users. 56 users (44%) responded to the survey, this is more than
60% of the active users of the Information System. Participation varied considerably from
country to country, from 0 to nearly 80%. But on group-level the participation was more even,
at least 6 users of each Expert Group participated.

Hard- and Software equipment
The average user has exclusive access to a Desktop PC, which is equipped with a 500 MHz
processor, 128 MB memory, 10 GB hard disk, a 17" monitor with a screen resolution of
800x600 pixels, as well as a b/w laser printer. The most common operating system is
Windows 98, and Internet Explorer, Acrobat Reader, MS Office and a ZIP utility are installed.
This is not a state-of-the art system, but fairly enough for working with a web-based system.
However, several users having inferior systems need new equipment.

Internet connection
Most users connect to the internet through their organisation's network (LAN). Download
rates vary widely, not only from country to country, but also within the countries. 20% of the
users only achieve download-rates of up to 5 KB/s and 40% of more than 30 KB/s, the rest is
in-between. Having documents with 300 KB on average, such a download would take one
minute or more in the first, and 10 seconds in the latter case.

Users' experience
Almost all users have more than 5 years experience in using computers, and also at least 2
years experience in using the internet. They use it on a daily basis, most of all for their work,
reading news and downloading software. The ICPDR Information System is only used
occasionally, and less than 30 minutes per visit.

Users' attitude
Most of the user regard the system as important to their work within the ICPDR and even
much more important in the next 5 years. Users state, that they would like to use the system
frequently and that using it can be learned quickly and does not need the support of a
technical person. They also agree with statements, that it is easy to use and well integrated,
but not to such an extend as to the previous statements.

Evaluation of the system
The usefulness and up-to-dateness of information and the ease of navigation are the most
important general aspects for the users, but the satisfaction with these aspects lacks
considerably behind. Finding documents is the most important task the system is used for.
Also quite important are expert databases, file sharing, event calendar, addresses, data
export, analytical tools and related/filtered information from other sources. In contrast, the
satisfaction with finding documents in the system is the lowest. Also the satisfaction with the
other important tasks mentioned above lacks behind in relation to their importance.

Expectations on support
Users would most of all like support by email, followed by web-based support and eLearning
as well as workshops. Training is less important, and telephone support has no importance at
all.

Requested enhancements
Enhancements which are requested the most are e-mail notifications of new documents and
events. A keyword or topic index, the possibility of requesting documents to be sent by email
and group mail (messaging) functions are also top-ranked. Still, most of the already existing
features gained a higher importance score than these enhancements.


4

From the deviation in answers and individual comments to the open questions, it becomes
obvious that the expectations from and the satisfaction with the system is very diverse among
the users.

All detailed results are presented in the chapter at page 9.
Some derived recommendations are given in the following chapter.




5

Recommendations

Hardware
Based on the Hardware Assessment and Priority Lists (see chapter Individual Results), and
after decision on a Standard Computer Configuration, a purchase plan can be compiled
taking also into account the project budget, UN purchase procedures and rules, and
restrictions and requirements at the national and organisational level.
Network Connection
The local situation of users having a slow internet connection (see chapter Individual Results)
should be investigated in order to find out if there are any options for improvement of the
connection speed, e.g. by optimising software configuration of the local system or by instal ing
new network equipment (e.g. router, etc.).
Training
The hesitant participation at the survey and the user's indication of a rather low importance of
training suggests that awareness-raising activities both for the Information System itself
and for the training programme should be undertaken before the actual training.

The mixed expectations by the users, reflected in the individual statements and in the large
deviation in the questions, indicate that there is no common view of the goals and
functions
of the Information System. Therefore, the Permanent Secretariat should revise
the Information Management Strategy (from the presentation at the Sinaia Plenary 1999) and
adapt it to the current situation. The objectives, expected benefits and principles of the
Information System should be clarified.
Building on this strategy, the "institutional set-up" of the Information System should be laid out
in short but precise guidelines and SOPs, describing tasks and responsibilities within the
Information System (e.g. for administration of user accounts and access privileges,
publication of content, update of databases, etc.).

To ensure the effectiveness of the training, the nomination of facilitators is recommended.
Facilitators are selected users who have special tasks within a certain area of the IS, which
also means towards a certain group of users. There should be facilitators on Expert Group
level and country level. The tasks of the facilitators could be to coordinate, i.e. ensure
availability of relevant information in the appropriate form and place and on time, help and
encourage users to contribute information, review and edit contributions, delete redundant or
out-dated information, summarize content, etc. The detailed tasks of the facilitators should be
further discussed, agreed upon and defined in TORs.

The training programme should be launched in two phases: an initial training workshop for
facilitators ("training of trainers"), followed by one user workshop in each country.
Presentation of the strategy and institutional set-up should be included in the training
programme as an introductory module. Technical training modules can be customized to the
defined roles in the system, i.e. not everyone has to learn everything. Facilitators obviously
need a more advanced training and should be prepared to take an active role in the training
sessions of the 2nd phase.

Web-based and email user-support should be enhanced (see development below) and
eLearning modules (tutorials for specific tasks) should be developed to prepare, accompany
and follow-up the training.


6

Development
To improve navigation, the functionality of the navigation bar should be optimized (the base-
code is outdated, newer techniques can be implemented).

The search functions can be improved by implementing a search function by Document
number, date of approval or other meta-information. But this feature depends on correctness
and completeness of this meta-information (guidelines for publishing documents are
necessary).

A central and up-to-date address database is essential for many applications. Such a
database serves as one source of information for a searchable address book, group member
lists, meeting participants lists, mailing lists, email notifications, etc. A feasible solution for this
tasks should be developed.

Email notification of new documents and events are the most requested features and should
be implemented with high priority. Details of this feature (e.g. how is such a notification
triggered, how are recipients identified, etc.) have yet to be specified. Group messaging
functions (ranked at no. 5 of enhancements) should be considered as an integrated function.

The automatic sending of documents by email on request of a user (ranked at no. 4 of
enhancements) can be achieved with additional software from Oracle or other sources. The
possible options should be evaluated and tested.

To encourage feedback and facilitate support, a simple support application should be
developed. This would consist of an online form were users can request help in a structured
way. Administrators (and facilitators) can reply to these questions in the same application. All
communication is additionally transmitted by email. The solved questions with answers will be
viewable by all users as an additional source of online help (knowledge base).

A recurring problem is that users forget their password. This prevents them from using the
system, as they have to write an email and wait for a response. This problem can be solved
very efficiently with a function to retrieve the password by email. This enables the user to
continue working with the IS immediately and eases administration overhead.

Due to some criticism of the availability of the system (and also because of the increased
importance of availability if the AEWS is integrated), server monitoring should be
implemented. This monitoring will ensure that the system administrator is immediately
alarmed (by email or SMS) when a system failure occurs and can therefore take the
necessary steps to minimize downtime. Statistics will be kept to give a clear picture of the
total availability of the system (also to the users). Furthermore, scheduled downtimes (due to
software upgrades or power-cuts) should be announced in advance to users by email.

More recommendations
Another important outcome from the survey is that usefulness and up-to-dateness of
information
have a considerable potential for improvement. To achieve such an
improvement, training or development will not be enough. The nomination of facilitators ­ as
already mentioned above relating to the training programme - could be useful in this respect.

Building a topic or keyword index (ranked at no. 3 of enhancements) can already be
achieved with the built-in functions of Oracle Portal, no additional development is necessary.
This is more a content-related task, as new and already existing documents have to be
indexed manually by users who are familiar with the content of the documents (e.g.
facilitators). As a prerequisite, a list of topics or keywords has to be defined and also
maintained in the future.

To further improve user's ability of finding documents and for the improvement of expert
databases
, more specific feedback from the users is needed. This kind of feedback can be

7

obtained during the training courses, through an improved feedback system and through the
facilitators.

Further content-related recommendations/requests from users which should be
considered and discussed:
Ř Short and easy to read summaries of main results and planned actions or disasters
(targeted to members of government, stake holders, decision-makers)
Ř Simpler structure
Ř General and compact information for the public,
Ř More attractive public area
Ř Links to WFD related information
Ř Expert level of information. New findings in sampling, analytical and information
technologies
Ř General information on countries of the DRPC, national information
Ř Task specific information (e.g. restoration of damaged ecosystems, DBAM, imission
limits etc. were mentioned)

Q1.10 Processor clock speed (MHz)
Recommended minimum: 500 MHz
Current systems usually have 900-2200 MHz.

In a computer, clock speed refers to the number of pulses per second generated by an oscillator that sets the tempo for
the processor. Clock speed is usually measured in MHz (megahertz, or millions of pulses per second) or GHz (gigahertz,
or billions of pulses per second).
Clock speed is one measure of computer "power," but it is not always directly proportional to the performance level.

Q1.11 Memory Size (RAM) in MB
Recommended Minimum: 128 MB
Current systems usually have 256 or 512 MB RAM.

RAM (random access memory) is the place in a computer where the operating system, application programs, and data in
current use are kept so that they can be very quickly reached by the computer's processor. The more RAM you have, the
less frequently the computer has to access instructions and data from the more slowly accessed hard disk form of
storage.

Q1.13 Screen resolution (hor. x vert. pixels)
Recommended minimum: 800x600 pixel
Currently, screen resolutions of 800x600 and 1024x768 are most common.

Resolution is the number of pixels (individual points of color) contained on a display monitor, expressed in terms of the
number of pixels on the horizontal axis and the number on the vertical axis. The sharpness of the image on a display
depends on the resolution and the size of the monitor.
Knowledge of the size of users screens can play an integral role in the development of content for WWW sites as site
designers need to optimize graphics to fit the majority of user's screens.

Q1.14 Color depth
Color on a computer is a function of the number of bits available to describe the shade of each pixel on the screen. The
color depth is indicated as bits per pixel. More bits per pixel provide more colors.
24 bit color is referred to as true color or full color because 16.7 million colors (224) is enough to provide even the most
subtle shading. 8 bit is typically recognized as a minimum requirement to provide reasonably natural looking color
reproduction of complex images.

Part 2: Connection Speed

Q1.6 Internet connection type
28/33/56K modem: analog modems are used to connect a computer over the standard phone line with the internet.
28/33/56K indicates the maximum speed of the modem (should be indicated on the modem).
ISDN: "Integrated Services Digital Network" is a dial-up 64K connection over the digital ISDN network. Special ISDN
cards (sometimes also cal ed ISDN modems) are used.
Dual ISDN: each ISDN connection has two channels. If both channels are used for internet connection, you have a 128K
connection.
DSL: "Digital Subscriber Line" is an always-on connection over existing wiring at high speed. There are different types,
e.g. ADSL (Asymmetric DSL), SDSL (Symmetric DSL).
Cable modem: special cable modems are used to connect over the coaxial cable television network. The speed is can be
3-50 megabits/second.
LAN: "Local Area Network" using Ethernet connections to connect many computers in an office building.

Q3.13 What would help you in better using the IS for tasks mentioned
above?

Answers
Web site should be always available (in the past half a year very often unavailable)
Having some more experiences using the Internet, user interface in national language, homepage customizable on
group level to have relevant information at one glance.
Short, easy to read summaries of the main results of the expert groups, of main project results, of planned actions
(new tasks, planned projects, future public relation events, etc.)
I need up to date information and documents before the meetings in time, I would need easier navigation
stronger computer
More performed computer and increasing of the speed connection
easier orientation in the IS
searching of topics, keywords, dividing documents to the sections (horizontal and vertical) concerning expert groups
and topics, signalise the new things on web-site, date of upgrade version of document, signed old versions, add the
sign of importance for chosen expert groups, keywords to document and searching, etc.
if more links on WFD related information were available if more ICPDR members and guests would use the IS
The main item is the time available relative to the tasks I have to perform. ... The time I spend for the EG is around 25
- 30% of my yearly workload, but within the year it varies tremendously. Based on this the main problem I have to
resolve via DANUBIS is to obtain some information I do not yet hold. Technical items are from my point of view of
minor importance compared with the 'soft side', i.e. the timely input of content. This cannot be furnished by the
administrator, it has to come from the users themselves. In regard to this item I understand that I myself am 'called' to
participate. As the situation stands I subscribe to the view that an 'active informing' via e-mails is assuring the reaching
of all partners to a bigger extent than the obligation of the addressee to search DANUBIS for news.
Having in mind that I'm a resent user of the IS, a need more time to explore to be able to answer this question
ability of my current PC limited my using IS
training and more time
better computer
more use this IS
better availability and quick respond
user workshop
solving problems with password
A function to inform people via e-mail that an online discussion has started.
Some simple GIS tool with maps.

Q3.14 Which important content is not covered by the IS?
Answers
Expert level of information. New findings in sampling, analytical, information technologies, used in the river basin.
Members of the government, stake holders, heads of the departments need short (!) and quick (!) information about
Danube survey, disasters like floods, spills of hazardous substances or just about the TNMN (without knowing that it is
called so) and the information needed should be up to date but not more than half a page; that's what I miss in the IS
so that I have to put together the information on half a page in case the information is required.
A list of all expert group members
imission limits
geographically located information (GIS maps)
for me I would like specific task concerning to wetlands, nature protection, restoration of damaged ecosystems, EU
legislation.
general information on countries of the DRPC
No answer, as there is no time to reason
Having in mind that I'm a resent user of the IS, a need more time to explore to be able to answer this question
link to EU Water Director sources
DBAM, updating of the rating curves
a better telephone and address book, the 'workbook' (discussion in Prague)
I did not find the text of the Convention on cooperation for protection and sustainable use of the Danube river and
information on cooperation between ICPDR and ICPBS (Memorandum of understanding between the ICPBS and the
ICPDR and Declaration on water and water related ecosystems in the wider Black Sea region etc.).
simple GIS


Q3.15 Which important task/function is not covered by the IS?
Answers
Information platform with new EU-papers, easy links to EU-directives, etc.
A link, which presents a summary of the most important contents in german language
Sorry, I don't know this time.
No answer, as there is no time to reason
Having in mind that I'm a resent user of the IS, a need more time to explore to be able to answer this question
environmental and ICPDR password (vocabulary)
Possibility to find Summary reports from meeting of the Commission, Steering Group and expert groups including all
annexes.
GIS-queries

Q3.18 What one thing would you change about this IS?
Answers
On the beginning of homepage of the ICPDR I would public information about important characteristics of the Danube
and a map of the Danube river basin with all countries.
Having in mind that I'm a resent user of the IS, a need more time to explore to be able to answer this question
The improvement of the participation of country representatives and experts in IS actualization is necessary



Q3.19 Any further comments
Answers
too much information about too many things, too much possibilities. I am not capable to make a selection and I am
afraid I am not the only one. My opinion and evaluation is based on rare experiences.
To my mind the internal area is very well designed for experts/internal users, but I can imagine that the public area is
hard to handle for persons who are not insiders. Public users - I imagine - have certainly more general questions, not
so much administrative ones (organisations, tasks, groups ...) but simple ones about the Danube, the discharge,
emissions in general, disasters of the past etc. Of course most of these subjects can be found somewhere inside the
folders; for insiders it's quite easy but take an uninformed test person with simple questions ....the design of the public
area could be made more attractive, with key words of general interest, easier structured and it's the public who is not
surveyed now!
Allow as large flexibility in using this IS as possible, i.e. do not expect that users will use it the same way or that they
should be forced to use it the same way or with the same frequency
I would look forward to some information on level of national PIACs

Observations during the survey

Many users did not react on the first survey invitation which was sent out by email. By the end
of August 2002, only 20% of the addressed users submitted their results. Some of these
users had been away from their office. Others stated they are already overworked or that they
can not contribute to the survey. Some users seemingly did not get the first email, reaching
some users was very difficult or impossible. Nevertheless, by sending out individual emails
and ­ in some cases ­ phoning the users directly, the participation could be doubled in the
end.

Many users also had problems with logging into the system. They either forgot their
password, did not have any information on their user account or sometimes have not even
been aware of a password-protected area. These problems became only obvious after
actively asking the users, why they did not log in so far. Most of the users who faced such
problems did not act on themselves to get access to the system.

Additional feedback and suggestions for improvement of the system emerged also during the
communication with the users for gathering survey results
