Use Cases

Have a use case you are working with that you would like to explore?  Add it here.  A variety of use cases will be selected to serve as examples during the workshop.  We will work through design possibilities and questions during the workshop in order to build a better understanding of the tools we have available to architect our repositories.

Use Case: Self-Deposit

In a self-deposit repository system, any user with a login can add works and files.

• As a logged in user, I want to create new works that are attributed to me and discoverable by the public.
• As a logged in user, I want to be able to organize my works for my own use.
• As a logged in user, I want to be able to organize works to share with others.

Use Case:  Curated Exhibits

In a curated repository, select staff can create content and selectively release it for public consumption.

• As a librarian, I want to select public works to include in a curated exhibit.

Use Case: Migration from D-Space to Hyrax

There are many uses for D-Space.  One use is the collection of faculty/staff research for a department on a university campus.

• As a repository manager, I want to create collections for each organizational unit of the university.
• As a faculty/staff member, I want to be able to create new works within my department's collection which are attributed to me.

Use Case: Art Institute of Chicago

Common Customizations to Application Flow

There are several major customizations to flow that I have seen at various institutions.  We could approach it from there.  For example…

• self deposit - start from uploading a work of any type; often using only a single work type
• file oriented - start by selecting the type of file being uploaded which drives work type options, workflow, collections the work can go into
• workflow oriented - start by selecting a workflow
• collection oriented - start by selecting a collection (e.g. ETD, exhibit, etc.) and what happens next depends on what you selected

The first one is the only one supported out of the box without customization.
