Use Cases

Use Cases use for the development of the device ontology.

The use cases themselves are maintained in the SourceForge SVN repository. Links to browse each use case are provided below.

Note (2008-09-30): A verbatim copy of the use cases in the original SVN repository at mmisw.org:8081 was tagged usecases-mmisw21 in SourceForge, meaning they were taken from the latest revision 21 in mmisw.org:8081. The current versions are located here.
