Use Cases/User Stories

Proposed by Authorities Subgroup, June 6, 2016:

Authority Term Import As a repository administrator, I want to query a controlled vocabulary and import one or more terms to an Islandora instance.
Primary Actor Repository administrator
Scope Metadata, architecture
Level Medium
Story The ability to import terms directly from LCSH, AAT, etc. will make it easier to manage controlled term lists in Islandora and ensure consistency in the application of subject terms across digital objects. Additionally, being able to update these terms using the same process will ensure that as terms are updated by vocabulary managers, we are able to incorporate these changes in local Islandora instances.

Documentation

Any other general subgroup documentation should go here.
