testing the schema, user models

Btw - when we have something to test, Peter Mika who now works at
Yahoo said he would be happy to work with us to do some parsing and
see how
easily the data can be disseminated/gathered/manipulated

So, talking about the user model, who would use such a schema, and how?

In previous exercises, I worked with the following scenarios

1) field workers from various organizations compiling lists of
casualties, and posting them on the web for families/friends/embassies
to locate them
Typically this information would have name/gender/dob(age)/location -
it was agreed that dead-alive-injured was best not broadcasted,
however other attributes such as
'related to' /hotel where they checked  in/. This is an 'aggregation'
task, hence the need for harmonized data format to be issued. they are
generally IT literate and have equipment

2) families/friends/other organisations trying to locate information
about the people affected by the event/ This is a searchh-query
mechanism, it would have been good
to have some interactive features here, so that as information becomes
available, it can be added to the respository, various degrees of IT
literacy and typically have internet connection/telephones

3) people affected by events who are trying to locate
organisations/individuals to assist them,  Have mobile telephones,
sometimes landlines and internet connecton

4) organisations/individuals who are able to provide relief, who are
interested to locate/admin/monitor the situation as it changes, This
is likely to need a highly dynamic capability cause the situation
constantly changes. Generally IT literate and have telecommunication
infrastructure/internet


So, based on past case studies, I foresee the above 4 user scenarios,
and would like to develop our test cases based on the above for our
schema
Would you correct it in anyway? add, delete or change something?
