SCAPE Stories

SCAPE Stories

Task 8 of each of the testbeds, while worded slightly differently, all suggest that the SCAPE scenarios created by the testbeds should be refined. We can use this Task as an opportunity to streamline these scenarios to help them fulfill their original purpose as requirements statements to the rest of the project and especially the Preservation Components Sub-Project.

Here we present one way forward, that distils existing scenarios into (to borrow a term from the Agile world) User Stories - a short and succinct high-level statement of the preservation issue encountered by a partner institution - and Experiments - a unit of work that combines a dataset, one or more preservation components, a workflow and a processing platform that can be used to evaluate SCAPE technology and provide evidence of scalable processing.
