FRED Repository Federation SUM (content)

FRED Repository Federation (content) (v. 0.55) Service Usage Model describing the functionality of a repository federation involving federation content: content provisioning, discovery, and delivery.

The FRED Service Usage Model specifies the range of services expected to be used in repository federations in education in Australia for interacting with content objects (namely the functionality relating to objects, as distinct from the overall repository federation systems). The FRED project supports such repository federations by providing toolkits to develop the services those repositories require. FRED uses the Service Usage Model as a functional requirement specification.

The Service Usage Model is also intended as an exemplar of a large Service Usage Model for e-Framework development.
