“…If this is the case, usability should be dealt with earlier in the development process in order to define and evaluate its impact on design as soon as possible. Notice that this approach is consistent with the tendency in SE to carefully consider quality attributes early on in the development process (Barbacci, 2003). This strategy has already been applied to other quality attributes like performance, modifiability, reliability, availability and maintainability, where a number of authors have proposed techniques to deal with these attributes, for example, at architectural design time…”

Recently, however, usability's implications in the application core have been highlighted. Some authors have already illustrated, albeit informally, a possible relationship between usability and architectural design (Bass, 2003) (Folmer, 2004). If this relationship is confirmed, the cost of rework to achieve an acceptable level of usability would be much higher than expected according to the hypothesis of separation. If this is the case, usability should be dealt with earlier in the development process in order to define and evaluate its impact on design as soon as possible. Notice that this approach is consistent with the tendency in SE to carefully consider quality attributes early on in the development process (Barbacci, 2003). This strategy has already been applied to other quality attributes like performance, modifiability, reliability, availability and maintainability, where a number of authors have proposed techniques to deal with these attributes, for example, at architectural design time

“…Consequently, regarding the primary quality attribute requirements and business goals [63,64] that drove system development (see Appendix), we conclude that quality attributes such as scalability/extensibility, open systems/standards, and interoperability are (theoretically) all met in the proposed framework. The secondary priorities of flexibility, integrability, ease-of-installation, and functionality have been built into the system through the adoption of development "best practices" throughout the design process.…”

Recent disasters, such as the 2010 Haiti earthquake, have drawn attention to the potential role of citizens as active information producers. By using location-aware devices such as smartphones to collect geographic information in the form of geo-tagged text, photos, or videos, and sharing this information through online social media, such as Twitter, citizens create Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI). To effectively use this information for disaster management, we developed a VGI framework for the discovery of VGI. This framework consists of four components: (i) a VGI brokering module to provide a standard service interface to retrieve VGI from multiple resources based on spatial, temporal, and semantic parameters; (ii) a VGI quality control component, which employs semantic filtering and cross-referencing techniques to evaluate VGI; (iii) a VGI publisher module, which uses a service-based delivery mechanism to disseminate VGI, and (iv) a VGI discovery component to locate, browse, and query metadata about available VGI datasets. In a case study we employed a FOSS (Free and Open Source Software) strategy, open standards/specifications, and free/open data to show the utility of the framework. We demonstrate that the framework can facilitate data discovery for disaster management. The addition of quality metrics and a single aggregated source of relevant crisis VGI will allow OPEN ACCESS ISPRS Int. J. Geo-Inf. 2015, 4 1390 users to make informed policy choices that could save lives, meet basic humanitarian needs earlier, and perhaps limit environmental and economic damage.
