Deborah - (01)
The slides I sent were from the OWS-4 demonstration. The construction
analysis component of the demonstration was designed to show how IFCs
could be integrated with other sources of geospatial information (such as
from a GIS) by an analyst to determine as quickly as possible where field
hospital operations could most effectively be deployed. In the case of
this demonstration, the analysts were from US Army response units - I am
not sure of their actual names :-) (02)
