Data Location Registration Use Case

Use Case: Data Location Registration

Actors

Primary Actor
A data provider, the individual or group that is contributing access to a database that can contribute to the SEEK taxonomic database

Description

Data provider registers the location of their data in the SEEK environment. By registering the location of the data provider service, other users of the SEEK system may discover the location of the service and use it.

Flow of Events

Pre-conditions

  • The registry exists
  • The user has prvileges for adding an entry to the registry

Basic Flow

  1. A data provider creates an entry in the SEEK registry.
  2. The registry performs some validation of the entry and if ok, makes the registry entry accessible to SEEK users.
  3. SEEK system may do addtional processing of the data service after registration such as harvesting metadata and /or summary statistics.

Post-conditions

None

Alternative Flows

  • User may edit an existing entry, which is the same as adding a new entry except the information held in the registry is updated rather than created.RKP - Presumably editing is restricted to the provider & older versions are achived,?

Further Details

Non-functional Requirements

None

Issues

  • General metadata describing name service "features" are required
