Registry Work Package 02 (Rwp02): Requirements, Science Cases, Use Cases, Test Cases

Contents:

Introduction

This work package was initiated at the Registry Kickoff Meeting (Registry19032003) 19-20 March. Discussion on this work package being held on the mailing list at http://www.ivoa.net/forum/registry/ (registry@ivoa.net)

Members

Members of this WP are MarkAllen, AlbertoMicol, AnitaRichards, KirkBorne, NicholasWalton, RayPlante, ElizabethAuden plus anyone else who would like to volunteer. (Tom Mc Glynn and David Schade mentioned at kickoff meeting)

Scope of Work Package

1. Identify Key Science Cases to be used as drivers for defining registry requirements. These should be illustrative of the range of requests that may be sent to a regsistry.

2. Describe a set of Use Cases, which are representative of envisaged registry usage, and include the use cases required to execute the Key Science Cases.

3. Define a set of actual queries against which registry implementations may be tested.

4. Requirements. Make a set of requirements which are necessary to be able to execute the Use Cases, and will be useful in actual development of registries.
