Summary of requirement initial analysis, by Reviewer: (as unambiguously as possible, describe who (List of Actors) is interacting with the system, what the business goal is and how the system might support the actor's ability to acheive their goal)


Motivation:
Information Technologist (more specifically software engineer

...

) would like to be able to find

...

implementation-specific formats/representations such as XML schemas for the data/information models

...

. For instance XML schemas can be used by caGrid service authoring tools for defining inputs and outputs of a caGrid service

...

to maintain consistency and interoperability between different caGrid services utilizing the same data model, authoritative XML schema for each data model should be tracked (alternatively, authoritative mapping rules from UML to XSD should be defined and enforced) |
Requirement: A repository (or multiple) should exist to support

...

authoritative representations of the model for that architecture implementation. If multiple repositories involved, then the consistency/correspondence between these model representations should be guaranteed through tooling (e.g. watchdogs) and/or processes (e.g. concurrent registration from single point).
A browser should exist that will allow Information Specialist (

...

developer) searching (discovering) and retrieval of corresponding model representations from single or multiple repositories.

...

Recommended Next Step Enter one: Follow-up interview, Observe, Use Case Template (text), Use Case Model (formalized/UML diagram), Group Discussion, Prototype, Waiting Room

Observe - Currently GME is part of caGrid. Depending on how knowledge repositories will shape this can either become a requirement for the repositories in semantic infrastructure con-op document or may be a requirement for architecure.

Requirement Type (required)

Analyst's assessement of the most appropriate category/type of requirement (no need to ask interviewee):

  • Functional: Fundamental or essential to the product - describes what the product has to do or what processing is needed
  • Nonfunctional: properties the functions must have such as performance, usability, training or documentation
    • Project constraint: schedule or budget constraints
    • Design constraint: impose restrictions on how the product must be designed, such as conformant to ISO 11179, utilizes 21090 or is able to work on a particular type of device
    • Project driver: business-related forces such as descriptions of stakeholders or purpose of the product/project
    • Project issue: conditions that will contribute to the success or failure of the project
