h2. Notes

Started review preparation. General plan is to have:
# some slides to show setting of component work within wider SCAPE project
# live (but possibly offline) demo
#* Will include looking inside some components

Discussed typing of ports (file vs url). Particular case was whether a component might need a directory name, which would be relevant in a PDF to TIFF conversion (directory would hold multiple TIFF images, one per page of input PDF). Was pointed out that the component could produce a list of produced images as an output in this case, and that adding code to a component to allow it to select where to write output files by default would not be difficult (though allowing an override would make a lot of sense).
