Abstract des Autors

Information management is a key component in the efficient operation of sporting events. Accurately documented requirements are essential to ensure reliable, cost efficient results management, and facilitate the transfer of knowledge from one Games to the next. The development of the ORIS document has combined the expertise and experience of many diverse users who together have thousands of hours of first-hand experience at Olympic Games and other major competitions. The ORIS documents are used by the Games organisers and their technology suppliers in the development of software and planning applications, while the lOC and the International Federations use ORIS as a basic reference during the Test Event(s) as well as during the homologation testing process. There is a widely held view among sports officials and media representatives that the ORIS project has made a major contribution to the success of Information Technology support at the Games.
