• Userstory: entering a specific kind of data
  • properties can have various data types
  • Example: number with a certain unit
  • There are different ways to enter the same number
  • predefeined properties retrieved from an auto-completion box, specify accuracy, specify value and specify unit, show the system's interpretation of the entered value

• comment Brandon: Machine should be able to do most of the work, should be able to just type into some text box, use regular expression => would be easier for the user
• localization of regular expression will be a pain in the ass; could also give guidelines

• comment: Daniel K.: immidiate feedback, maybe there should be an option to have drop down based form (for entering occasionally)
• maybe just offer an input field at first and react on user input, like "I do not understand what you said - fill this out" (Brandon)

• comment: Erik: Problem with very different numbering systems

• comment - starting a open source javascript library for data input (numer input and normalization, accuracy, units, etc)

• feedback Brandon: fast prototypes, get comments/feedback on that
