Editor Mapping Comparison

Use Case: Editor Concept Mapping Comparison

Actors

Primary Actor
An editor of concepts (or part thereof)

Description

A "(Concept, Name, Reference) author" can query the SEEK system to retrieve the relationships between concepts.

When editing a concept and/or the relationships between concepts, an editor should be presented with existing mappings to assist with determination of the need for a new mapping.

The intent is to make both the process of mapping easier, and to reduce the likelihood of duplicate mappings.

Flow of Events

Pre-conditions

  • User has privileges to access the SEEK taxonomy system

Basic Flow

  1. Editor has concept that is to be attached to a classification scheme within the SEEK taxonomy system
  2. The editor is presented with the current mappings for the concept in question
  3. The editor creates a new concept mapping orverifies an existing one

Post-conditions

  • The system should check the validity of changes made

Alternative Flows

Further Details

Non-functional Requirements

None

Issues

This is likely to be a highly visual interaction within an editor environment. Must be very responsive.
  • Again no implication that the new concept mapping is stored in SEEK
