Organization

The Use Cases are based on the same broad categories as the OAIS Functional Entities. Like the latter, use cases are organized into hierarchy with high-level scenarios broken down into more specific tests (sub- and sub-sub-cases).

To facilitate cross-references and links, each case has been assigned an alpha-numeric code: the alpha prefix designates its type (UC = use case), the number establishes its position in the hierarchy.
