Kinetica Future Developments

Kinetica Developments Implemented

Expert Advisory Group on Enhancements (EAGOE)

The Kinetica Advisory Committee at its meeting in August 2002, endorsed a proposal that Kinetica establish an Expert Advisory Group to investigate and prioritise enhancements to Kinetica services. This new group will follow on the work done in 1999 by the Expert Advisory Group on Reference and End User Services and the Expert Advisory Group on Kinetica Document Delivery. Most of the enhancements recommended by these two groups have been delivered and it is now time to undertake a more strategic review of enhancement priorities.
