Thanks Joanne. I certainly agree that the Use Case Template that you have linked to is very useful and, in fact, looks very similar to ones that I have used in the past in the context of specific software development projects. I think that the current HCLS UC Template is aimed more at being a higher-level "scope and boundary of proposed activity" template than a formal "use case for software development" template. As such, perhaps the name "Use Case Template" is not quite correct and maybe "Business Use Case" or "Business Scope Definition" might be better. In the end, I think that both templates are useful since a single instance of the current HCLS template would naturally give rise to multiple instances of your template, all of which would flesh out component various operational threads of the upper-level use case/business scope defined in the current HCLS template.
Does this make sense to you, or do you think your suggested template could/should replace the current HCLS template? charlie From: Luciano, Joanne Sylvia [mailto:jluci...@cs.rpi.edu] Sent: Monday, October 10, 2011 06:34 To: Michel Dumontier Cc: boy...@u.washington.edu; public-semweb-lifesci@w3.org Subject: Re: A new potential HCLS use case (scientific discourse) Hi Michel, Richard, Esteemed Colleagues, I'd like to propose that we use (add) this use case template that we have found useful at RPI: http://tw.rpi.edu/media/latest/UseCase-Template_SeS Download<http://tw.rpi.edu/media/latest/UseCase-Template_SeS> There are some examples at: http://tw.rpi.edu/web/Courses/SemanticeScience/2011 See the reading assigned in Class 3 and examples assigned, in preparation for Class 4: Use Case Development Joanne ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Joanne S.
