Stuart’s interested in the NHS application area especially based on some of the work they’ve been doing in Urban Analytics." - [x] Appendix 2 updates - Product compendium chat - Move documentation from HackMD to site - :bangbang: Pending sign-off on first edits from Chris - Move ["New stuff for the User Guidance"](https://hackmd.io/osvTgcBpRmGjUr1Z6FWaYg?both#New-stuff-for-the-User-Guidance) into the site ## TTW Collab Cafe (Feb 7th 2024) **Issue**: https://github.com/alan-turing-institute/AssurancePlatform/issues/328 **Miro**: https://miro.com/app/board/uXjVNvnjoB4=/ ### AI UK - pretty much all good - [name=Chris] put the CEMRG case into the platform - a user click-through demo? - Rich starting-task ### Next-step - XML-type file format - why? (1) model-driven validation (say, XSLT or something?) + (2) easier file format to modularise? + (3) expert users might want to copy-paste plain text. - could we have a live editor/validator that quickly ensures that the format works? [new feature] - Next.js -> full-JS stack - Rich can finish before Newcastle joins? Transforming the querying backend. - consider storing objects differently? - [this requires more conversation about db stuff!] :::success **Key Points about Structured Assurance Case Metamodel's (SACM) XML-based Format** - Interoperability: The XML format enables the exchange of assurance case data between various tools and systems that adhere to the SACM standard. This interoperability is crucial for collaborative environments where different stakeholders might use different tools to contribute to the assurance case. - Machine-Readable: Being an XML-based format makes SACM data easily processable by software tools. This supports automation in the creation, verification, and reporting of assurance cases. - Extensibility: XML's inherent flexibility allows for the SACM format to be extended or customized to meet specific project or domain requirements, while still maintaining compatibility with the core SACM standard. - Standardization: The use of a common XML schema for SACM helps in standardizing the representation of assurance cases across different domains and industries. This standardization is beneficial for maintaining consistency and understanding across diverse projects and regulatory environments. ::: ### Design Sprint ideas See: https://miro.com/blog/design-sprint-guide/ Step 1: Sprint master creates a design brief (with challenges/constraints/timeline) = change database/backend --> align more with standard (and allow for easy interface) = DEFINE Step 2: Share design sprint board (and invite experts to lightning talks, say on SACM standard = UNDERSTAND) Step 3: Collect data from open sources + team members on what's needed to accomplish our requirements Step 4: Room booking + prep _ playbook (schedule/methods) Step 5: DIVERGE = go to work! Step 6: Decide Step 7: Prototype Step 8: Validate ### Kalle's time and expertise TEA-DT: 0.2 TRIC-DT: 0.2 ____________ 0.4 Asking questions and ensuring that we have all the required answers to move forward with prototyping *what we want* = and what is it that we want? - Newcastle from April - Rich from late Feb?
