What kind of tool ?● Could be
– An interactive web site – An “app” for smart phones– A stand-alone software
● Goal is to always let users consume the data for their need
● Actual tooling will depend on the skills and preferences of the team member coding it!
Behaving scholars do a bit more

The myths of long term use● Data and software sent to a digital trusted
repository will for sure be re-used later
● Tools can be maintained after the project and further improved to fit new needs
● If the tool is not being used enough it should be adapted to fit more user needs
In reality● Data that is not easy to use is not used
● Tools are not maintained once the person who coded it has moved onto other things
● It is not possible to make everyone happy and fit all research questions with one tool
Data re-use: could you do it ?CEDAR all open on github: data, queries and scripts.
