[MOBY-l] Use Cases temporarily in CVS pending Wiki

[Mark Wilkinson]

Hi everyone,

I have set up a UseCase folder in the CVS as a temporary place to hold 
our use cases until we get a Wiki set up at open-bio.  In that folder is 
a template HTML file, which can be filled in with your own use case data 
so that we are all using a consistent format.

The one that I just committed is my first stab at a fairly complex use 
case for which I can see a solution within the existing MOBY 
architcture... though perhaps I have been too simplistic in my thinking 
:-)  In any case, it's in the CVS, so jump in and point out the flaws in 
my logic!  I certainly learned things about MOBY that I hadn't realized 
while reasoning through the event flow to solve this use case - it 
really was an extremely useful excercise!  There are a couple of things 
that I clearly need to add into the registry API immediately, since it 
is still not behaving in the way I had planned...

As soon as we get a Wiki I will take whatever use cases are in this 
folder and move them there.

Members of all projects are welome to submit their use-cases, and the 
solutions they have.  It might be an idea to add subfolders for each of 
the different projects who may wish to participate in this game (MOBY, 
myGrid, I3C, DiGIR) so that we can keep it clear which use case is 
provided by which project.   It might also be a worthwhile excercise for 
each of the different architectures to provide their solution to another 
project's use-case (keep the same UseCase name, but save it to your own 
folder) so that we can truly compare the strengths and weaknesses of the 
different approaches.

Cheers all!

M
