Ingest batch of master files (article images) which are articles (of a single issue of a single title???)
Controlled genre list for articles
Other agenda items
1. Proxy ordering for articles in issues
   1. Still unsure if this is needed.
2. Files for articles
   1. Articles may have binary files representing the page image segment
3. Generic vs. specific
   1. Question was raised about whether this model is too specific too newspaper content, might be daunting to some implementers
   2. Could potentially pursue a more generic 'paged media' model
   3. Do newspapers have any intrinsic features that are not shared with other common paged media objects such as books or magazines?
   4. Could call it 'Periodical' rather than 'Newspaper'?
   5. More thought needed.
   6. ArcLight may have some modeling that could be useful?
4. Performance could be an issue
   1. Indiana ran into performance problems when objects had more than 200 pages or so.
   2. Valkyrie provides better performance.
