Is communication is the fourth sub-process?

How to read discussions

Statements: Communication is also one continuous sub-process alongside info collection and synthesis

Resolution: Accepted

(A stable resolution, when found, should be updated to the main page.)

Argumentation:

1: In addition to collecting and synthesizing information, the results of collection and synthesis need to be continuously communicated (or reported) to the contributors. Communicating (or presenting) the (intermediate) outputs is also an imprtant challenge for the risk assessment support system, alongside offering means for collection and synthesis of information. Effective communication fuels up the collection and synthesis work and it deserves to be mentioned as one of the sub-processes of RA process. --Mikko 20:53, 29 August 2007 (EEST)


Playing with models

How to read discussions

Statements: Playing with models is manipulation of collected information

Resolution: Resolution not yet found.

(A stable resolution, when found, should be updated to the main page.)

Argumentation:

1: Models are representations of collected information and playing around with that information is its manipulation for the purpose of making it serve the assessment purpose in a best way. --Mikko Pohjola 04:01, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

2: Playing with models is exploration of new information, i.e. trying something that is NOT in the current description, although within the limitations of a given model structure. It is rather collection than manipulation of information. --Mikko Pohjola 04:01, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
