Making and registering the observations as soon as possible (in time and place)
Endorsed by
Motivation
Registering as many as possible facts in real time, possibly in field (FSX,TTX), improves the impartiality of collected observations due to avoiding opportunity for interpretation from the observers’ sides. Moreover, it helps to distribute collection activities in both phases: during and after the , providing logistical advantage. Lastly, the observations are available in the database earlier, giving the opportunity to be used for introducing the corrections after each stage of the , so the information use also for exercise conducting purposes.
Potential Solutions
The observations should be registered right after the observed fact or event. The information should be fed in real time into the central database.
