Requirements Analysis


CONTENTS
I. Introduction

II. Information Description

III. Functional Description

IV. Behavioral Description

The system states here are intended to describe the gateway computer. System states of LON-CAPA or OAI harvesting that are unrelated to the gateway service are therefore not shown.

Cornell's Central Repository Initiative; my understanding of this is verbal, based on discussions with Kortemeyer (MSU) and Jon Phipps (Cornell); this central repository initiative is still in the design phase and first implementation is expected at the end of February (we will try to work in spirit and partnership with what they are doing at Cornell--for instance it would be easier to just emulate exactly what they are doing--but given the time frames of everything involved we may have to set up an independent web crawling scheme for now).
