LEO Network

The LEO User Guide

With CEC's support, in 2016 the LEO team authored and published the LEO User Guide, a conceptual introduction to the LEO network for observers, consultants, and hubs. The User Guide is available online, via the LEO website at leonetwork.org.

The User Guide is available in English, French, and Spanish.

The LEO User Guide is arranged according to the three main audiences it supports: Observers, Consultants, and Hubs. We define these roles as follows:

An Observer is a LEO Network member who has submitted an observation to the Network. Observers are considered experts by the LEO Network, because they have particular knowledge of an area and/or topic. Good observers can often detect subtle changes and provide insights into causes, connections and the significance of the event.

A LEO Consultant is an expert who possesses interest in a subject and the capacity to provide technical assistance about a specific observation or series of observations. In most cases, such help would entail taking a few minutes to comment by email.

A LEO Hub is a regional center for administrative or technical support. Hubs have regional and topical expertise and act as facilitators, helping to engage a wide range of members and organizations in the Network.

This diagram is one of many included in the LEO User Guide.
