- is the content homogeneous or varied?
- are the access control needs varied or homogeneous?
- how many distinct worktypes do you need and what are they?
- will everyone need to use them or should some people be able to use certain worktypes? (customization)

- for works?
- When will you use collections, parent/child, work/fileset relationships?
- Do you have metadata at the file level where child/nested works are needed or will you use filesets?
