DDMS • What is the DDMS? • Designed around the control of vector borne diseases • Target users • Multi level. data puncher – decision maker • Developmental stage • Version 3 • Goal • Multi disease, country wide implementations
IRMA • What is IRMA? • Designed around the needs of a laboratory running routine insecticide resistance work. • Target users • Scientists, laboratory technician • Developmental stage • Alpha, tested by just a few. MIRO before BFO. • Goal • Recording day to day activities of a laboratory.
The engine that powers DDMS THE NEXT-GENERATION APPLICATION FRAMEWORK BY
METADATA is an application blueprint • Automatically generate code • Decrease development time • Make changes with less effort
Experiences and drawbacks • Scope and idiosyncrasies • Language and visualization • Too ahead of the wave?

Language and visualization • Guashinton vs. Washington • translations to local character sets. • Schadenfreude. • Ontologies are graphs not trees • Most users have experience with a tree control.
Too ahead of the wave? Ontology • OO very common. • Talking about “semantics” is esoteric. • WHO has to be a player in the. ?
