Simplified user poll and experience report language (SUPER): implementation and application

L. Rosenthaler , R. Doelz and L. Tosoni

Biocomputing, Biozentrum der Universitaet Basel Switzerland

Biological computing is generally organized as standalone implementation on a PC-type computer or on a central facility (e.g. a university computer center). Services provided by central facilities need to be tailored to the user community. Unless very work-intensive individual contacts are used, the feedback must be collected with generalized tools, such as questionnaires distributed in the form of a newslettter. We have developed a method to have such polls automated and tailored, as well as having multiple-choice questions combined with branching after fundamental questions. As the evaluation of the results needs to know the questions asked, we have also included a method to process the answers and give detailed tables on the answers. SUPER was applied in a poll to query the academic usership in Switzerland on the usage of molecular biology databases.
