Repository Prototype System Specification

Abstract

This report documents the lessons learned while developing and using the IBM Team STARS Repository System. It also provides rationale for limited changes and specifications for an improved repository prototype based on experience with previous versions of the STARS Repository Prototype. Increment 1 and 2 prototyping efforts have provided a capability to study and evaluate methods for collecting, searching, and accessing reusable information, e.g., software and documents stored in and retrieved from a classical, hierarchical taxonomy based structure. In addition, information stored and retrieved by more user-friendly methods (e.g., sets of related attributes (or facets) defined when reusable component parts are added to the repository) were prototyped and evaluated. Each method was used independently and in combination with other methods. (kr)
