How do we solve this problem? A network exists in which analysis activites are related to one or more of the objectives. Drawing this network allows us to determine what intermediate steps must exist. The network also shows whether a given task is essential or peripheral. There may be some overlap in the outputs of some of the activities, in which case comparison of their results will help validate the analysis process. The presently understood data analysis network is shown in Figure 1.
