Completion Report for Formalise and document prometheus/database interface

The interface between Theon and Prometheus has never been formally defined. This is important to ensure that everyone knows and agrees on what to expect. The result of this project was principally a document defining the API, which in this case was: the structure and content of the specific views that Prometheus uses; the feeds, processes, rules and times of changes that underlies the definition of the views in Theon. The approved document is here: PrometheusTheon.

In addition during the discussion of the API some minor view amendments were suggested and implemented.

Effort

Effort given to this project by both the Research and Teaching and Infrastructure Units was 23.5 hours. There would have also been a small amount of additional User Support Unit effort not included in this figure.

Conclusion

While only taking negligible actual effort this project still took over 250 working days to actually get done. This is a theme common to many of our projects.
