Process Diagram
i)
Local access
(Offline): Members of the
University of Khartoum will have internal access to
database. Thus avoiding the need for students to rely on the internet to
access core documents and information relevant to their course.
ii)
UofK Database:
The database will hold material generated by the
University of Khartoum including special data,
information on management systems, climate data and research materials
along with a selection of international documents chosen by the staff
of the engineering departments as core material for the courses. (The
international material will be a combination of both free-to-download and
pay-for-access.)
iii)
International Access:
The SudVEL-SKN Interface will provide access to research and
material generated by the
University of
Khartoum. This information is very important in assisting in development
of the region and will be a valuable tool for many projects in the region
along with supporting international research. In some cases material in
the database may be restricted from International access.
Note: This
project will allow an increased contribution from UofK to the UNESCO GHESP
as a member of the International Association of Universities.
Additionally, this project is inline with the goals of the United Nations
Decade for Education in Sustainable Development 2005 -15.
