Requirements
The University of Alberta hosts various standing GFC committees which discuss issues and make decisions regarding the future of courses, instruction, and policy at the university. The content of these meetings are public record, but as they stand are incredibly difficult to filter and find relevant information for a given topic.
Therefore, the first objective of this project is to provide a search service for the minutes of the various standing GFC committees, to support transparency with the public.
Additionally, a secondary objective is to add a system that will scan these minutes and parse out various topics into a database - enabling basic visualizations and deeper question asking systems to be built upon this one in the future.
For this project we decided to use "User Stories" to help clarify and specify the requirements of the project. User stories are short descriptions of actions certain users will take to accomplish specific tasks. This way, if in the final deliverable product if those stories can be accomplished we know that the product requirements have been met. Please view the list of User Stories on this page.
