OAI Harvester Use Cases

OAI Server Use Cases

Service Registry Use Cases

Use Case 1/SR: A User wishes to register a Service

Purpose
An XC project has a service that they wish to register.
Primary Actor
User
Prerequisites
User must be associated with the organization providing the service

Sequence

  1. User accesses the Service Registry and initiates Registration in one of two ways:
    • by entering the URI of the OAI server for the service
    • by entering basic information about the organization providing the service -- Name, address, phone, domain (if available), URL, description. User may then enter self (and may designate others in addition) as Primary Contact or Technical Contact by including name and email. If User is neither Primary nor Technical Contact, another role may be entered.
  2. User submits form and Registry sends confirmation email to all contact(s) as well as the Hub Manager.
  3. User and contact(s) respond to confirmation email, verifying email address(es)
  4. Registry notifies HUB Manager(s) that Service has been added
Result
Service is registered. User is now a Registered User and an organization contact associated with the registered service.

Use Case 2/SR: A User wishes to modify a Service registration

Purpose
An XC project has service registration that they wish to modify.
Primary Actor
Primary Contact or Technical Contact
Prerequisites
Primary Contact or Technical Contact must be associated with the organization providing the service within the service registration.

Sequence

  1. Contact accesses the Service Registry and chooses to edit the service registration:
    • if the OAI server address has changed, the harvester will initiate a test harvest to:
      • refresh the information provided by the server
      • test the server conformance with OAI (given that more than the server address might have changed behind the scenes)
    • if contact details for registered contacts are changed (or new contacts are designated) the verification of email addresses will be done for any new or changed addresses.
  2. Contact submits form and Registry sends confirmation email to all contact(s) as well as the Hub Manager.
  3. Contact(s) respond to confirmation email, verifying email address(es)
  4. Registry notifies HUB Manager(s) that Service registration has changed has been added
Result
Service registration is updated.
