This page lists some of the various models that we have used as examples of how the Project35 software can be used. this page can be linked to from the end user documentation. However, we decided to keep this page separate from the download. The reason is that this is meant to be a dynamic page with the list of models hopefully growing and users shouldn't have to download everything each time they want to investigate a new model.

The models listed here are just meant to be examples. Some are derived from real paper forms and their appearance here does not imply that the electronic variations are endorsed or used by the group that produced the non-electronic version. If you have a model that you would like to share, let us know and we can list it here with your group or project information. Alternatively, if you use the software but don't have a model for general publication, we can still put links to your group from here. Also, if you do use Project 35, could you just let us know and provide a link from your site to ours. Thanks!

Index of Models

This list can, and hopefully will, get quite large. For convenience, here is a list of the names of the models currently listed here.

Bioterrorism Investigation Medicinal Plants Shelter Assessment for Disaster Response
Avian Flu Disease Tracking Lyme Disease Tracking Food Security Assessment for Disaster Response
Meningococcal Outbreak Tracking Survey for Land Mine Clearance Activities Education in Emergencies Assessment


Downloading the Models

  1. Click on a "Download Model" link for one of the models shown on this page. Save the .ZIP file on your computer.
  2. Unzip the model folder into the .\models directory of your downloaded copy of Project35.
  3. In the main directory of your installation of Project35, double click on one of the following:
    • run_project35 - to run the Desktop version of the Project35 Data Entry Tool
    • run_tablet_project35 - to run the Tablet PC version of the Project35 Data Entry Tool
    • run_project35_work_bench - to run the Project35 Work Bench
    • run_project35_configuration_tool - to run the Project35 Configuration Tool

For example, suppose you download the Avian Flu model. You would unzip the file avian_flu.zip into the .\models directory of your Project35 installation. You should then have a directory structure such as: 

project35-1.0-win
	--> models
		--> avian_flu
			--> config
			--> data
			--> doc
			--> lib
			--> model
			--> resources
		--> developer_tutorial
			--> ...
		--> project35_form_configuration
			--> ...
		--> project35_meta_data
			--> ...

Bioterrorism Investigation

This model was derived from the Bioterrorism Investigation Form that was produced by Utah Department of Health. We have created electronic forms which are intended to demonstrate how Project35 could be used to record investigations of bioterrorism. Our use of the model does not imply that the Utah Department of Health endorses these sample electronic forms. Click on the thumbnail on the right to see a full screen shot of what these forms could look like.

Medicinal Plants

This is a model for describing medicinal plants. Since 1998, Kev has been interested in developing open source software to help manage information about medicinal plant concoctions used by indigenous shamen. The model is based a prototype for a data entry tool Kev made in 1999. In 2004 Kev went to the Amazon to interview a shaman about what data he'd need recorded about the remedies he used.

Shelter Assessment for Disaster Response

These forms are based on a needs assessment checklist that is part of the Sphere Project's "Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Disaster Response" handbook. Specifically, the forms are based on a needs assessment checklist in Appendix 1 of "Chapter 4: Minimum Standards in Shelter, Settlement and Non-Food Items". Some of the more complicated questions have been broken down into simpler questions to help produce more specific responses in the form. Our use of the model does not imply that the Sphere Project endorses these sample electronic forms. Click on the thumbnail on the right to see a full screen shot of what these forms could look like.

Avian Flu Disease Tracking

These electronic forms that illustrate how TabletProject35 could be used to help assess an outbreak of avian flu. The electronic forms are based on the paper-based forms available at: http://www.hpa.org.uk/northwest/forms_policies.htm Note that this is a demonstration model only and is not endorsed or used by the HPA. Click on the thumbnail on the right to see a full screen shot of what these forms could look like.

Food Security Assessment for Disaster Response

These forms are based on a needs assessment checklist that is part of the Sphere Project's "Humanitarian Charter and Minimum Standards in Disaster Response" handbook. Specifically, the forms are based on needs assessment checklists in "Chapter 3: Minimum Standards in Food Security, Nutrition and Food Aid". Some of the more complicated questions have been broken down into simpler questions to help produce more specific responses in the form.

Lyme Disease Tracking

These electronic forms that illustrate how Project35 could be used to support an investigation of Lyme's Disease. This model is based on "Lyme Disease Report Form (Clinical Report Form)", produced by the Utah Department of Health, March 2005. Please note that this model is meant to inspire epidemiologists to use the software to gather disease outbreak data. You may want to record different information. Our use of the model does not imply that the Utah Department of Health endorses these. Click on the thumbnail on the right to see a full screen shot of what these forms could look like.

Meningococcal Outbreak Investigation

These electronic forms that illustrate how Project35 could be used to help assess an outbreak of Meningococcal. This was based on an old version of the meningicoccal investigation form developed by the HPA. New forms are available at: http://www.hpa.org.uk/northwest/forms_policies.htm. Note that this is a demonstration model only and is not endorsed or used by the HPA. Click on the thumbnail on the right to see a full screen shot of what these forms could look like.

SARS Outbreak Investigation

These electronic forms that illustrate how TabletProject35 could be used to help assess an outbreak of the SARS virus. The electronic forms are based on the paper-based forms available at: http://www.hpa.org.uk/northwest/forms_policies.htm Note that this is a demonstration model only and is not endorsed or used by the HPA.

Education in Emergencies Assessment

These forms demonstrate how Project35 could be used to gather survey data about the state of educational facilities during and after a disaster. This demonstration was inspired by the work of the Inter-Agency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE). Specifically, the forms are roughly based on a survey for the Minimum Standards for Education in Emergencies, Chronic Crises and Early Reconstruction. The work here done in this demonstration does not imply that the INEE or its partners necessarily endorse Project35 or these forms. For more information about these standards, please visit http://www.ineesite.org.

Survey for Land Mine Clearance Activities

These forms are based on the International Standards for Humanitarian Mine Clearance Operations. These forms are intended to demonstrate that Project35 could be used to help people gather information about land mine areas. The work is inspired by the work of the Mine Actions Standards Organisation. This demonstration does not imply that the IMAS group endorses either Project35 or these forms. For more information about land mine clearance standards, please visit: http://www.mineactionstandards.org.
