Note: this is only one a partial vision that it tries to be ilustrative. Almost nothing for these times.


  1. A resource is published in a inet server (with a URL)

  2. Creation of the resource bibliographical description

    • manual creation

    • assisted by a metadata editor

    • semiautomatic, through a key word extraction program,

  3. Publication of the description in inet (with a URL)

  4. Registry of the description in a Donantonio server (Suggestion: probably the servermust distinguish between:

    • reviewed revisions

    • descriptions nonreviewed

    • copied descriptions of other Donantonio servers)

  5. The Donantonio server:

    • archives a copy of the description in his public warehouse.

    • feeds with the description his data management system.

  6. The Donantonio server attends Donantonio queries

  7. The Donantonio client who sent the query gathers of the consulted server like a result a series of descriptions that match it.

  8. The Donantonio client can archive the result of the query in his own warehouse or can access to the resource(s) through an URL.

Note: how do you see it?, it explains something to you? :-?
