    genericName: QPROTO
    shortDescription: >
          QPROTO is an algorithm for rockfall analyses at a small scale on the
          basis of the simplified Cone Method (Jaboyedoff & Labious, 2011).

    longDescription: >
          QPROTO, based on the cone method developed by Jaboyedoff and Labiouse
          (2011), identifies the areas that are most exposed to a rockfall
          phenomenon only considering the topography of the slope and the
          calibration of a simplified mechanical model. Furthermore, it allows the
          quantitative estimation of block velocity and kinetic energy and the
          evaluation of a time-independent rockfall relative hazard. Developed
          as a python plugin for QGIS Software with the aim of promoting the
          diffusion of an open source tool easily accessible to professionals
          and administrators.

    shortDescription: >
          QPROTO è un algoritmo per l'analisi del rischio di frane su piccola
          scala basato sul Cone Method (Jaboyedoff & Labious, 2011).

    longDescription: >
          QPROTO, basato su metodo dei coni sviluppato da Jaboyedoff and
          Labiouse (2011), identifica le are più esposte ai pericoli di frana
          considerando solamente la topografia del versante, un come la pendenza, e
          la calibrazione di un modello meccanico semplificato. Inoltre permette di
          eseguire una stima quantitativa della velocità del blocco,
          dell'energia cinetica e la valutazione della pericolosità relativa per caduta massi indipendente dal tempo. Sviluppato come plugin in python per il
          software QGIS ha lo scopo di promuovere la diffusione di uno strumento
          open source facilmente accessibile a professionisti e amministrazioni.
