RAINBOWII: An Object Network for Statisticians and Administrations


Overview


A research project funded by the European Union (Telematics)


Background

This project produced a definition for a statistical workbench, using an object-oriented approach. Working with partners from the statistical offices of Greece and Portugal, Devon County Council, and the Survey Team of the University, we collected a comprehensive overview of the statistical processing process from a number of different perspectives. In this report we demonstrated that 'users' - mainly managers and statisticians - can think in Object oriented terms and can come to grips with some of the concept of formal modelling as used in the Unified Modelling Language (UML) which is currently used by many software developers.
