Activities and outcomes before April 2010

Significant effort has been made and a number of business analysts were involved in the early stages of the requirements elicitation initiative. This included interviews of stakeholders within and outside the caBIG community, as depicted by step 1 in the fig Figure 1 below.

As a result, a large number of requirements (100+) were identified and documented (see step 2a in fig Figure 1 below) in the following NCI wikipages:
on this VCDE Knowledge Center page: https://cabig-kc.nci.nih.gov/Vocab/KC/index.php/SI_Conop_Initiatives_Requirements_Master_List.

Each requirement was also translated into a use case, documented as narrative text but structured in a tabular form, according to the NCI template (step 2b).

Subsequently, a further analysis was needed to categorize these requirements. An initial analysis suggested structuring use cases in several stories, namely: domain user stories, forms stories, metadata specialist stories and developer stories (step 3). This These were documented at :
https://wiki.nci.nih.gov/display/seminfra/User+Story+Drafton the User Story Draft page of this wiki.

In addition, a user story matrix was produced showing this categorization in a tabular form, while also providing references to initial candidate services used to support each story. These candidate services are documented in the infrastructure category of the NCI Enterprise Services periodic table. The
