Hi,
It was really interesting to me to follow this thread, and I appreciated
the contributions from the list.
Actually, there is another "buzz statistic" (could the term apply to
these cases ?...sorry: english is not my first language) on which it
might be interesting to clarify the sources.
In many presentations it has occurred to me to see or read about the
partitioning of (GIS) project resources into (1) data-related tasks, (2)
sw/hw and (3) human resources, with a few variant schemes.
What is interesting is that -in my experience- from time to time and
from case to case the "big slice" of the resource pie happens to shift
from one component to the other, with HW/SW generally being put at the
end of the list.
While I don't think that this type of inconsistency can lead to relevant
problems "in operations", and could be put in the "presentation
folklore" file, I wander what impact can this type of "information
tuning" have on an "unaware audience" of potential new GIS users.
Could this be interpreted as 'buy more digital data, do less training'
or vice versa ?
Regards,
