Query Elicitation Study – Unedited Lists of Queries This document contains the unedited lists of queries gathered during the query elicitation study run by Agnes Lisowska as part of the IM2.MDM IP and contains a total of 297 queries. The queries are primarily divided by use case – the brief description of the use case that was given in the questionnaire is also provided. Each use case section is further divided into responses from those involved in the IM2 project, and those who are not involved. The numerical identifier serves as a means of tacking down background information about the participant who posed the question. Any questions about this document should be e-mailed to Agnes.Lisowska@issco.unige.ch Use Case 1 Use case: Imagine that you are managing a project, but are too busy to attend all of the meetings related to it. This isn’t a problem, because you know that all meetings in your institute have been recorded and stored in the IM2 system. You want to find out how particular members of the group are contributing overall to the project. IM2 participants 1-Y-2 -1 I would like a list of all participants to at least a meeting, with the proportion of meetings attended by each participant. Could you sort the list starting with those that attended most of the meetings? 1-Y-2 -2 Which people missed meetings which they were supposed to attend?
