Sample Problem Spaces
ICT Access• Universal Access• Universality Obligations of Service Providers
Small Scale Fisheries• Operational Efficiency Marine Resource Manag’ent• Safety at Sea Market Intell Infrastructure Plann’g
Agriculture• Crop Performance Decision & Knowledge Support• Pest & Virus Monitoring Loan Application Support
Sample Data
ICT AccessDigital Access Indices and components (2007); Digital Opportunity Index and components (2007); geographical locations of T&T communities with statistics; > 300 communities underserved by Internet service; 12 blocks & 6 baskets of underserved communities
Small Scale FisheriesRe artisanal fishing Industry: gear types; species; catch and effort (2006-9); vessels; organisations; locations of landing sites, equipment & accessory suppliers, gas stations, police districts etc; maritime boundaries, search & rescue particulars
AgricultureMarket Price & Volume (2006/7-2011); Employment (2001-2010); Root Crops, Green Vegetable and Other Pulse Harvest (2007-2009), Apiculture farmer population

Sample Problem: ICT Access
• Section 28 (1), Telecoms Act (2001): TATT required to promote Universality in T&T
• The Digital Divide Report in T&T (2007): Priority should be given to the provision of affordable broadband ... mobile services
• Universality Framework for Telecommunications Services in Trinidad and Tobago (2011): > 300 communities deemed underserved by Internet

Eg OD App Dev: Disparate SourcesProblem : Inappropriate fishing gear impacts the marine resource through by-catch and reduces efficiency with which fishers catch target species. Policies & regulations exist but damaging practices prevail.
Data Sources:• Species vs Oceanological Zones • Species vs Gear Type• Fishing fleet, species translation• Catch and Effort data • Trinidad Tobago Fishing Policies and Regulations • Fisheries and Aquaculture Statistics• Fishery and Aquaculture Country Profiles• Global By-Catch Assessments• Other possible sources in support of value added features
Thank You & Good Luck to TT Coders!
