Core Use Cases

CoreUseCases.jpg


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.


UseCase Import Layer

ImportLayer.jpg

  • Import layer (shapefile)
  • .... process generic edit and approve functions
  • Publish as WFSWeb Feature Service, CSV, SDMX, WMSSee Workload Management System or Web Mapping Service.(format shape)
  • Publish in PostGis
  • Publish in Oracle Locator

Rules

  • The geometry is expressed as [Well-known text|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Well-known_text]
  • Language dependent attributes from the shapefile are expressed as descriptions
  • Non language dependent attributes from the shapefile are expressed as annotations

Core Rules

  • A code can become final when:
    • it is published in a codelist
    • it is made final
  • A code 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:
Type (Artefact or Code) Description
Local This is the default type. Created or imported and the further lifecycle and management is in the system
ImportedImmutable Imported from outside and cannot be changed. Will have a CodeLife. The lifecycle and management is outside of the system but will be followed and monitored in the system.
LifeLinked Is only linked, not stored and at most cached. Works in principle only in case the outside link is available. Will not have a CodeLife, the lifecycle and management is outside of the system
Note: 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
