RDA Data Foundation and Terminology DFT 4 : Use Cases Contributors :

Major products of the DFT effort include a summary, analysis & synthesis of a large body of definition work on data management terms models & associated terms. The intent has been to develop a vocabulary and an associated model to promote common understanding of data organizations and data sharing. As work has progressed some use cases have been developed to illustrate requirements and validate relationships across models. Use cases are often used in engineering efforts to capture the requirements of a system and act as a means of discussing these with stakeholders. Such scenarios of use provide a context for otherwise abstract concepts and can thus be used to check the fitness of portions of the synthesis and its terms in specific relationships details by scenarios.
