A key factor in determining the reliability and tangibility of the modelling results is the relative quality of the source data for the models. This objective has been a major part of MITRE, as the team acknowledges the direct link between the inputs and outputs from the models. The inputs and conclusions of the project have much greater value with a widespread and high quality range of sources. With this range, the MITRE team has been able to ensure the best levels of information retrieval and be confident of the value of these sources.
This objective has
been successfully achieved by linking with the key organisations and projects
within the European Union. The
key information sources include the following:
