Talk:Emission factors for burning processes
Evaluation by Jukka and Sami
Update: 31.1.2013. Some editing is done to actual page based on suggestions in this discussion page.
Homework 6 Jukka&Sami
Key Tasks:
The categories, correct subheadings and page frame could be listed as follow:
Main title. Keywords.
1.Scope 1.1 Question 1.2 Boundaries 1.3 Definitions
2.Answer 2.1 Conclusion
3.Rationale 3.1 Data (including all these emission factors in own page maybe?) 3.2 Calculations 3.3 Dependencies
4.See also 5.References 6.Related files
First few sentences describe the meaning of page, but there could be more additional information about focus of this page, are we talking about emission factors globally or more like in Finland and where if so? This also should be mentioned in data section and more specific in each table that where the data information is from.
The "Emissions factors for burning processes" in Answer section seems to be right, but there is missing types of plants or kettles so results seem partly incomplete.
Biggest problems are in Data section where all the datatables showing emission factors with lowlevel subheadings make one big mess. First, there should be stated in "Boundaries" and "Definitions" sections that what kind data and EF (emission factors) are needed in this assessment. In data section there is no actual clarifying or essential information regarding data in overall or where data is from. This "Matti's conceptual model" is out of context. Some tables mention information from Kuopio, some from Finland. This should be clarified that what is the scope for EF's and how widely they are assessed: globally, Finland, Kuopio only? Table numbers are wrong and only one table mentions the filename, where data is from. Maybe it would be better to have own data -page, where relevat EF and other data is listed in specific order and it would be easily readable and easy to follow.
In dependencies there could be: fuel type, plant or kettle type, power and efficiency. Causality and Formula -sections look unnecessary so they probably could be removed.
Rcode seems to work and it prints correct looking result-table mentioned in Answer section. Code and Run code are in wrong place and it should be in Calucations -section. Seems that Rcode doesn't create new Ovariable nor doesnt get latest ovariable.
Summary could be as follow: "Emission factors vary a lot depending of fuel type and type of plant or kettle used to create heat and power. This page assesses different kinds of fuel types, plant or kettle types used for creating heat and power and fuels used to warm up houses. GHG EF factors are also assessment is also included.
Some Additional questions:
Q:Does the page have a correct page type? A: Yes, page type seems correct but there is wrong subheadings and headings order is wrong.
Q:Does the page have a question? Is it clear and unambiguous? A: Yes, question is clear
Q:Does the page have an answer to the question? Does it actually give an answer to what is asked? A: Yes, answer is clear and answers to actual question.
Q:With variables, is the answer given as a link to a model run with calculated results? If yes, A: Yes, there is link directly to results, actual calculations are not presented
Q:Does the model run have a clear result table? A:Yes Q:Does the model run have a clear result graph? A:No, there is no graph included. Q:Is it clear where the code that was used to run the results is? A:This is not very clear, there is so much different datatables and the code itself doesnt clearly say what data it used to calculations, so this part is vague.
Q:Are there data on the page that is needed to answer the question? Are it in machine-readable format (i.e., in t2b table or directly stored in the database)? A: Data is (probably) on the page but it's such a mess that it's hard to see what parts or all data, and how it is used to produce answer to the question. There doesn't seem to be t2b tables so data is taken from elsewhere in the system or from database.
Q:Does the page have an evaluation (edistymisluokitus) in either a separate box in the beginning, or in the metadata box? A: evaluation seems to be missing.
Q:Does the page have other subheadings (See also, References, Related files, Keywords)? A: Keywords and Related files -sections are missing. Q:Are there links to other related pages? Are relevant links missing? A: There is some links but most of them are outdated, dont work or direct to some page which doesnt look related, at least directly.
Q:Do you find errors or mistakes on the page? A: In Data section there is a lot of mess, wrong table numbers and misleading subheadings that could be counted as errors. Also in the end there is Causality and Formula -sections which doesnt seem relevant at all. Using two languages is not suitable.
