Brief overview

Briefly define purpose & capabilities of the system and available components (if any) Should be a 1-2 sentence summary of system

Scope of the system

  • tool encourages decision maker to discover new problems or opportunities by exposing to new information or results
  • tool helps decision makers in recognizing upcoming problems for which solutions have been developed previously
  • tool allows decision maker to actively create new knowledge when faced with a new problem and to develop novel solutions
  • tool allows decision maker to capture knowledge, making it available to decision makers who are seeking solutions from previously solved problems

System origin

  • Who and when was it developed
  • how was it developed
  • is it a commercial product
  • does it have real-life application cases

Support for specific issues

Is the system designed to take into account specific uses? E.g. guidance on ways to characterize biodiversity, economic-biodiversity tradeoff analysis methods, risk assessment methods, landscape analysis methods, timber harvest effects, climate change effects, biological effects (pests, pathogens, invasives), fire,...

Support for specific thematic areas of a problem type

  • Silvicultural
  • Certification
  • Conservation
  • Restoration
  • Transportation
  • Development choices / land use zoning
  • Policy/intervention alternatives
  • Sustainability impact assessment (SIA)

Capability to support decision making phases

(NOTE I do not quite know what to do with this, as I do not understand it myself, although it seems related to system use)

(Click here to see a more detailed explanation)

  • Intelligence (+ explicit description of the support given by the DSS)
  • Design (+ explicit description of the support given by the DSS)
  • Choice (+ explicit description of the support given by the DSS)
  • Monitor (+ explicit description of the support given by the DSS)
