[SCC_Active_Members] Use Cases for the Software Archive

[Bob Fraley]

Hi,

It was suggested that there should be some use cases relating to the 
needs of the museum archive.  Here are a couple.

Use Case A

A researcher is accessing a programming manual that has been scanned 
in to the virtual archive.  On page 76 there appears to be a hole in 
an example that is critical for his work.  The researcher gains 
access to the physical archive, and discovers that a small scrap of 
paper was stuck to the original document, and underneath that scrap 
the text was still intact.  The museum staff re-scans that page so 
that future researchers will see the full text.


Use Case B

A researcher is reading a scanned document in the year 2048.  Due to 
poor contrast on the page, she is having some problems reading a 
portion of the text.  Knowing that scanner technology has advanced 
substantially in the 40 years since the document was scanned, she 
works with the museum staff to re-scan the document.   The result is 
a much clearer document.  This is placed in the archive as a 
replacement for the original document.
