WP 1: 2nd call for data ACCESS database

Why using ACCESS?

challange: - Complex data from different sources

- relationship of data (1:1; n:m)

- need for a searching function

Access provides all possibilities for the design of a well structured database.


Database Structure

Structured searching routines can be executed in terms of:

research projects

educational courses

training courses

standards, handbooks

All data is referenced to:

keyword

country

language

member responsible for data / contact address


Database Queries

Example: Query on educational courses for language shall be German


Database Queries

Example: Query on educational courses for language shall be English


Database Queries

Example: Query on educational courses for language shall be German and keyword shall be “3 whole life costing”.


Benchmarking

The data collected in the database concerning research, education and training has been benchmarked under the following aspects:

competence (keywords and main topics)

general

national

gaps (keywords and main topics)

general

national

Transfer of research into praxis

Procedure: Each entry in the database is referenced to one or more keywords. In terms of benchmarking we are comparing how many times the keywords have been named to reference the entries.


Definition Competence Centres - Gaps

We define competence within the Lifetime Network on basis of the following aspects:

A search in the database to one of those topics will give a good starting point and contacts for further investigation

new research can build on published work

Education / Training can be derived

We define gaps within the Lifetime Network on basis of the following aspects:

A search in the database to one of those topics gives very little or none results

education or training is (nearly) not available


Benchmarking to Use of keywords for Research Projects

At this state of the project there are 293 entries listed in the database.

The middle value of the “Use of keyword” of all keywords is 19. The standard deviation is 14 where the minimal value is 3 and the maximal value is 60. We take a closer look at all keywords where the Use of keyword is over 30 or under 8.


Competence Centres

Keywords named more often than 30 times (Use of keyword >30):

1 investment planning (50)

100 lifetime design (48)

14 economy of nature, environmental impact assessment technology (45)

300 recycling technology (43)

400 lifetime management and maintenance (60)

24 modernisation planning and execution (32)

21 maintenance planning and execution (32)

45 optimisation of materials and components (35)


Gaps

Keywords that are underrepresented (Use of keyword <8):

13 multiple attribute decision making (e. g. MADA) (5)

18 selective demolition for recycling (7)

23 “Infrastructural management” (security, cleaning) (4)

25 analysis of the requirements of owner/user (e. g. QFD method) (5)

28 network (=total sample of the managed objects) planning (5)

500 Culture (5)

31 Building traditions (5)

32 Life style (5)

33 Business culture (5)

34 Aesthetics (6)

35 Architectural styles and trends (3)

36 Image (5)

39 sustainable city/regional planning (5)

Use of keywords for all countries

Use of keywords for each country’s research projects; at the same time the summed up use of keywords for all countries.

We can derive for which keywords there seem to be existing competence centres and at the same time we can allocate them.

Further investigation is possible via searching routine in database


Transfer from research into praxis

From 293 projects in total we have information about involvement of industry partners only for 98 projects.

The share of projects where industry partners are involved is 65%.

Benchmarking to Use of keywords for Education

At this state of the project 109 educational courses are listed in the database.

The middle value of the “Use of keyword” of all keywords is 5,9. The standard deviation is 4,2 where the minimal value is 0 and the maximal value is 20. We take a closer look at all keywords where the Use of keyword is over 10 or under 2.
