As a user

I want to look at tsunami evidence data that share the same attribute(s) with the data point I am currently investigating

As a researcher

I would like to be able to interrogate (filter) by inferred tsunami generating source region.

As a researcher

I want access to reference information and any supporting information.

As a hazard manager

I want to know the frequency of tsunami occurrence for a given site/locations.

As a user

I want to learn the meaning of the different tsunami data attributes

so I can make sense of them

Notes:

• could be provided via content API, additional database table, or static configuration file (eg JSON)

As a user

I want to filter tsunami evidence data by location intuitively by drawing a rectangle on the map

As a user

I want to filter the tsunami evidence data by one or more attributes, including combinations of attributes,

so I can analyse a subset of the evidence data that I am interested in

As a user

I want to learn more about the palaeo-tsunami database, including methodology

As a user

I want to export and download an image of the scatter plot that visualises the filtered tsunami evidence data

so I can use it to embed in documents or share with my peers via email or social media

As a researcher

I want query tables (#69) and maps (#18) to be of a high-quality that that can be used directly in publications and other forms of outreach communication.

As a researcher

I want to be able to interrogate (filter) multi-field data such as comparable date-time stamps for palaeotsunami events from purportedly similar source generating locations.

As a user

I want to learn more about the web application, what it is for and how I can use it

As a user

I want to know if and how I can use the data

As a hazard manager

I want to know the sources responsible for generating palaeo-tsunamis and the estimate travel times of such waves.

As a user

I want to report a potential issue

so the responsible person can look into and resolve it

As a user

I want to learn about the rough geographic locations of source regions even if the exact source location is not known

Notes:

• this would require an additional GIS layer (likely line data)
• ideally the column content "source_location" would be converted to a source-location reference referencing a feature in the GIS layer

As a user

I want to see the (known) source locations of the tsunami data (all or subset) on the map

so I can get a better understanding of the potential tsunami origins

As a user

I want to select a representation attribute

so I can visually distinguish and analyse tsunami data that is visualised on the map

Notes:

• attributes can be categorical or continuous
• suitable visualisation options could be size, color, symbol (circle, square)

As a user

I want to select a secondary representation attribute

so I can better visually distinguish and analyse tsunami data that is visualised on the map

Notes:

• attributes can be categorical or continuous
• suitable visualisation options could be size, color, symbol (circle, square)
• best practice is not to encode map markers with more than 2 variables

As a user

I want to get a list of all tsunami evidence data that belong to the same tsunami event

so I can assess how a specific tsunami event impacted different locations

Note:

• the database currently does not include the concept of tsunami event
• as a work around a subset of evidence data could possibly be identified by setting filters at once, for multiple source related attributes (source_location, sourcecertainty, source_lat. source_lon, source_cause) and age (age_max. age_min, time_scale). These could potentially be set from the single item view "show all data points with same source attributes" (see #10, #11)

As a user

I want to share a specific view of the application with my peers

so they can see exactly what I see

As a user

I want to select the two attributes of the tsunami records (all or subset) for the x- and y-axes of the scatter plot

so I can get a better understanding of the data

As a data analyst

I want to download the tsunami data (all or subset) in a suitable format (CSV, GEOJSON)

to further process and analyse the data

As a user

I want to be able to filter tsunami data by type of source location (local, regional, distant)

so I can get a better understanding of the data

Notes:

• would require additional attribute either in main data table or in additional source region GIS layer (see #24)

As a user

I want to visualise the locations of the tsunami evidence data (all or subset) on a map of New Zealand

so I can assess the geographic distribution of known tsunamis

As an data analyst

I want to be able to access the tsunami data straight from the API

so I can do my own analysis

As a hazard manager

I want to know something about the nature and veracity of the evidence for any inferred palaeo-tsunami record.

As a user

I want to see the data point currently under investigation being highlighted on the map (#3) or scatter plot (#8) or table (#15)

so I can compare it with other tsunami evidence data (all or subset)

Please define user roles (aka "personas") so we can assign them to user stories

As a user

I want the map to provide me with relevant contextual information, such as ocean depths, administrative regions, populated places, ocean and land feature names

so I can better relate to the information presented

As a user

I want to see all impact locations for a given source location

so I can see where a specific event may impact the coastline

As a user

I want to inspect all attributes for a single tsunami record

As a researcher

I want to be able to display the results of data queries (in both tabular #15) and mapped (#3) forms on a range of scales (national, regional, local)

to assist interpretation and communication.

As a citizen

I want an intuitive and easy to navigate website

that will help me to better understand the tsunami hazard and risk facing different regions of A/NZ tsunami.

As a user

I want to see distributions of tsunami data by latitude and longitude alongside the map ("marginal plots")

for advanced analysis

As a hazard manager

I want to know the estimated wave elevation and inundation extent of past tsunamis for a given site/locations.

As a user

I want to export and download the map that visualises the filtered tsunami evidence data as an image

so I can use it to embed in documents or share with my peers via email or social media

As a user

I want to visualise the tsunami evidence data (all or subset) on a scatter plot

to enable advanced visual analysis

Use this thread to post and discuss relevant resources that may serve as an inspiration for ways tsunami data can be visualised or users can interact with data.

As a researcher

I want to be able to interrogate (filter) single-field data such as comparable date-time stamps for palaeotsunami events from different sites/locations.

As a user

I want to be able to get in touch with the responsible people

so I can ask questions or comment on the application

As a user

I want to visualise the tsunami evidence data (all or subset) by a specific attribute as a bar chart

to facilitate comparison

Notes:

• only suitable for numerical attributes (continuous scale)

@Darren-Ngaru-King: could you point out the plan for the content API?

As a user

I want to share a link to the application with my peers via email or social media

so they can explore the database

As a hazard manager

I want to be able to access both historical and palaeo-tsunami data from the same database, including the capability to interrogate + filter all available information.

As a basic user

I want to learn about palaeo-tsunamis

so I know what I am looking at and why I may be doing so

As a user

I want to be able to list tsunami evidence data (all or subset) in a table
