Context and Scenarios Track Faciliator
    Metadata standards, specficiations, protocols, services, federated search (facilitated by representative of Polar Federated Search Working Group) Identification of Actors (use cases will guide discussions) Lynn Yarmey

  10:30 Break Break  
  10:50 Working Session Working Session  
    Architecture Design:  develop a discovery architecture diagram and related narrative that describes a system that could support one or more use cases. Wherever possible, this architecture will address challenges identified and utilize solution identified in the previous session. Concept mapping - establish model of actors and infrastructures connected by drivers and other relationships. Sandy Starkweather
