[Medin_dacwg] Discussion of DAC metrics for annual reporting

[Rickards, Lesley J.]

Dear MEDIN DACs,

One of the topics we will discuss at the DAC WG meeting on Wednesday relates to the metrics we request each year as part of the DAC Annual Reports (see list below) - in particular the data sets accessed / queries received. Whilst we do not wish to alter what is being requested, as we now have a time-series covering the last 6 years, it would be useful to gain a better understanding of the information supplied by the individual DACs, check that there is consistency in reporting from year to year, and ensure that we understand the reasons for big jumps (increases) in data requests for some of the DACs.

So please come prepared to discuss this.

Many thanks - and looking forward to meeting with you on Wednesday.

Best regards,
Lesley
