1. Observation result / life phase – plans in development Currently on hold. It is a large project will require further development on tracker documentation and review. The representation of observation result also has dependency to the observation model which is still not finalized.
    
   • Phase 1 – Development, testing and documentation of Observables model (complete)
   • Phase 2 – Pilot of scalable authoring of observables content using new model (April 2016)
   • Phase 3 – Modeling of existing Observables content (January 2017)
