Plain Language Description[edit | edit source]
Short Definition[edit | edit source]
A user is responsible for tactical planning, analysis, and operations to combat fires of national importance, especially near inhabited areas or critical infrastructure assets. The name of this wiki entry will be SolutionsUseCase_Health-Disaster_Fire-Wildfire-Observation-Coverage_1a once it has been posted to the ESIP Federation wiki.
Purpose[edit | edit source]
A plain language description of why this use case exists, what the problem is to be solved, and what a successful outcome and impact may be.
Describe a scenario of expected use[edit | edit source]
A verbose (more detailed) description of one instance of a problem to be solved, what resources are generally needed (if known) and what a successful outcome and impact may be. In this case, who might be expected to do the work or provide the resources and who might be expected to benefit from the work. List any performance or metric requirements for this use case and another other considerations that a user would expect.
Definition of Success[edit | edit source]
Quick test that would show whether or not the case is working as described.

Definition[edit | edit source]
First paragraph is short description, second paragraph, etc. may contain further details.
Through this use case, the system User locates and identifies datasets (collections of related grandules) for use or processing. This process results in the User having access to a subset of the datasets in the portal that meet the requirements of the User. Individual datasets, and their constituent granules, may then be identified for further action or processing (e.g. Visualization, analysis, download).
Successful Outcomes[edit | edit source]
- 1.Operation succeeds and user obtains QQQ.
Failure Outcomes[edit | edit source]
- 1.Operation fails to return any XXX. Should instead YYYY.
- 2.Illegal input of AAA, Should instead ZZZZ

Schematic of Use case[edit | edit source]
A diagram of how the different elements and people/processes may fit together in the use case (if possible do not refer to specific technologies).
Use Case Elaboration[edit | edit source]
This section is intended to be completed with the details of the use case that are required for implementation. This section is not intended to be filled in by an application user.
Actors[edit | edit source]
Always identify primary actors, may be more than one. Also identify other actor including any other systems or services which are important. Primary actors are usually ones that invoke the use case and are beneficiaries of the result. They may be human or computer. They are actionable. Other actors are those that support the primary actor, i.e. would be part of the use case without the tasks, work flow, resource, or requirements implied by the needs of the primary actor.
Primary Actors[edit | edit source]
The actor that initiates this use case is the portal User. Providers may also initiate this use case as a precursor to use case EIE05, Manage Collections/datasets.
Other Actors[edit | edit source]
Security actor, who authenticates the user requests and issues authorizations for access to relevant data/resources.
Preconditions[edit | edit source]
- 1.Collection metadata have been entered into the system
- 2.Collection metadata have been validated
- 3.Collection metadata have been published
Postconditions[edit | edit source]
- 1.Datasets or granules have been identified within the system for further action
- 2.Appropriate action (i.e. Map, download, process) controls have been provided to the user to initiate that action.
- 3.Controls are provided to the user to refine the criteria used to 'discover' the dataset.
Normal Flow (Process Model)[edit | edit source]
- 1)The user selects the 'dataset discovery' tool collection from the user interface
- 2)The user performs a 'simple' search using a simple interface that searches commonly queries dataset attribute fields for matching text/terms.
- 3)The results of the search are presented to the user with appropriate action controls associated with the datasets.
- 4)The user selects one of the action controls to 'use' the identified dataset(s) in a specified action (i.e. Visualization, download, processing)
Alternative Flows[edit | edit source]
- 1)The user selects the 'dataset discovery' tool collection from the user interface
- 2)The user selects a control that provides access to an advanced search tool that supports spatial, temporal, and parametric search methods. Flow then extends to EIE11-EIE14.
