The *purpose of this document* is to collect, analyze, and define high-level needs and features of the National Cancer Institute Center for Biomedical Informatics and Information Technology (NCI CBIIT) caCORE EVS Release 4.3. This document focuses on the functionalities proposed by the product stakeholders and target users in order to make it a better product. The use-case and supplementary specifications document will detail how the framework will fulfill these needs.

h2. Vision and Needs

Maintain 4.2 code base but deprecate EVS 4.0.
