Abstract This paper reports on the User-Centred Design and development of a web-mapping application from the Ocean Mapping Group (OMG) at the University of New Brunswick (UNB), to deliver ocean mapping data to ocean modellers. First, a work domain analysis was conducted to determine the required application functionality and content, consisting of an ocean modeller informal interview, a competitive analysis, and an online survey. Taking insight from the work domain analysis, a requirements document was prepared to support the development of the first application prototype. This prototype was then evaluated by eight target users, using a cognitive walkthrough and an online survey. The results from this evaluation led to a series of revisions to the functionality, content, and interface of the web-mapping application, establishing the revised prototype. The results showed a useful tool, end-user satisfaction, and stated a wide range of recommendations to enhance functionality for the next steps of the development.

为海洋建模者开发以用户为中心的网络制图应用程序

摘要 本文报告了新不伦瑞克大学 (UNB) 海洋测绘组 (OMG) 的以用户为中心的网络测绘应用程序的设计和开发，以向海洋建模者提供海洋测绘数据。首先，进行工作域分析以确定所需的应用程序功能和内容，包括海洋建模师非正式访谈、竞争分析和在线调查。从工作域分析中获得洞察力，准备了一份需求文档来支持第一个应用程序原型的开发。该原型随后由八名目标用户使用认知演练和在线调查进行评估。此评估的结果导致对网络地图应用程序的功能、内容和界面进行了一系列修订，建立修改后的原型。结果显示了一个有用的工具，最终用户的满意度，并提出了广泛的建议，以增强下一步开发的功能。
