Core Use Cases

UseCase import csv

A good example for the import csv file is the ASFIS species list. The Asfis species list is a zip file, containing the file ASFIS_sp_Feb_2011.txt, which is a csv file. The implicit hierarchies in this file are documented here. http://www.fao.org/fishery/collection/asfis/en documented here http://km.fao.org/FIGISwiki/index.php/ASFIS_SDMX_Codelist

After having imported the ASFIS file, the following codelists are interpreted:

• ASFIS Species Alpha 3 Codelist
• ASFIS Species Taxonomic Codelist
• ASFIS Species Family Taxonomic codelist
• ASFIS Species Order Taxonomic codelist

and hierarchies:

• Relation ASFIS Species Taxonomic code - Alpha 3 code
• Relation ASFIS Family - Species
• Relation ASFIS Order - Family

and collections

• ASFIS List of Species

Interpreted means that the system is capable of understanding all the implicit relations in the tabular format file like the the ASFIS_sp_Feb_2011.txt file and shows in the UI distinguished codelists, hierarchies and collections. The ASFIS_sp_Feb_2011.txt file results therefore in 4 codelits, 3 hierarchies and 1 collection.

The collection ASFIS List of Species is containing the same information as the original ASFIS_sp_Feb_2011.txt file.

UseCase create new version of an Artefact

• Start from scratch, import, or copy an existing Artefactin order to work on a new version of an Artefact.
• Delete codes/hierarchies
• Add codes/hierarchies
• Edit codes/hierarchies
• View deleted codes/hierarchies
• View added codes/hierarchies
• View edited codes/hierarchies
• Make Artefact final

UseCase approve

A collection, codelist, hierarchy is approved and is ready to be published.

UseCase publish

A Collection, Codelist or Hierarchy can be published through SDMX, CSV:

• Codelists are published as SDMX codelists according the SDMX REST specifications.
• Hierarchies are published as SDMX hierarchical codelists according the SDMX REST specifications
• Collections are published as zip, txt, zip containing a txt file or zip containing a csv file. Such a collection would represent for instance the original ASFIS txt file.

UseCase publish geospatial referenced codelist

When codes have a geospatial reference through the attribute wellKnownText, it can be exported/published as a layer/WFSWeb Feature Service. Details of this usecase need to be refined further.

UseCase DiffReport

1. User select artefact(Codelist, HierarchicalCodelist or Collection).
2. User selects a certain version from that artefact.
3. User selects another version from that same artefact.
4. User clicks on generate DiffReport and views the DiffReport

The report shows:

• Codes added.
• Codes deleted.
• Number of codes in the first and second selected version.

Rules

• A code can become final when:
  • it is published in a codelist
  • it is made final
• A code can becomes non final when it was final and has been changed
• A code is non final when it is created
• A code can only change from final to non-final when it was not yet published in a codelist
• Changing the validityPeriod, wellKnownText or value of a final code will result in a copy of that code. The new code will be non final.
• Creating a new Code means also creating a new CodeLife
• Making a copy of a Code results in adding a link from that new Code to its CodeLife
• An Artefact or Code has a type:

• )This table is not yet integrated in the model.

Nice to haves

• Integration with SharePoint
• Support for CMIS
• Export to OWL
• Export to SKOSS
• Export to RDF
