Re-examination of Requirements for a Format Registry


Existing GDFR Use Cases and Functional Requirements:

2003
The original use cases for GDFR were submitted in 2003 by the Bibliothèque nationale de France, Harvard University, JISC, JSTOR, MIT, NYU, OCLC, UK National Archives, and the University of Pennysylvania. The full text of these use cases is on this website at http://gdfr.info/docs.html#usecases_2003.

A list of services that GDFR should support was compiled by Mackenzie Smith (MIT) based on the above use cases. This service model is documented in: "Global Format Registry Service Architecture". MS; March 11, 2003 which is on this website at http://gdfr.info/docs.html#service_model

2006-7
OCLC developed a set of use cases for GDFR in 2006-7. They are contained within this document: "GDFR Analysis Model, v. 2.0; October 1, 2007 which is on this website at http://gdfr.info/docs.html#analysis_model. This document is the GDFR functional requirements specification.
