Use of Controlled Vocabularies in USGS Information Applications: Requirements Analysis for Automated Processes and Services: Presentation CDI Monthly Forum 2014

This presentation is a product of the 2014 CDI Project: Use of Controlled Vocabularies in USGS Information Applications: Requirements Analysis for Automated Processes and Services. It was presented on Apr. 9, 2014 as part of the CDI Monthly Forum.

Vocabulary Service Use Cases

These use cases are a product of the 2014 CDI Project: Use of Controlled Vocabularies in USGS Information Applications: Requirements Analysis for Automated Processes and Services (Bureau-wide Application) The use case team evaluated three use cases. The first use case, “Assign keywords to a metadata record using one or more controlled vocabularies,” develops the functional requirements for a vocabulary server interacting with a metadata creation tool. The second use case, “A catalog search interface uses vocabulary services to help users find data,” develops functional requirements for the same vocabulary server, but this time interacting with a catalog user interface. The third use case, “Create specialized indexes...

A conceptual model showing fundamental concepts for using a vocabulary server

This conceptual model is a product of the 2014 CDI Project: Use of Controlled Vocabularies in USGS Information Applications: Requirements Analysis for Automated Processes and Services (Bureau-wide Application) In addition to the basic use case narratives and diagrams, the use case team also produced conceptual models that are useful in clarifying the basic things that the prototype will be working with, to ensure clear communication across the project team during the coming year.
