Introduction

In the context of the URR, applications are processes that depend on earth observations or derived information. Similar to user types, the goal is to identify applications sufficiently different from each other in terms of information needs and output, and/or importance for decision making.

The edit functions are described in detail in the Edit tutorials included in the General section for the Publish menue, specifically for the functions New, Edit/View all, Copy, Save, and Cancel.

Although Save will carry out a check for uniqueness of the entry name, it is recommended to check the URR for similar or identical application names before entering an anticipated new application name into a blank form.

You may check the list of existing applications, which can be accessed through the 'Edit/View all' button for the intended name or similar entries. The list of all published applications includes the application name of each entry, the date of the last update, the number of comments available for the entry, and the date and author of the last comment on the entry.

It may also be helpful to conduct a search for a major keyword associated with the anticipated new application, which may lead to the discovery of entries that refer to a similar application with slightly different name (see the tutorials on searches).
