[higgins-dev] [IdAS] use cases

[Greg Byrd <gbyrd@xxxxxxxx>]

Here are some use cases for IdAS, relevant to our phone discussion 
today.  In a later email, I will try to describe a way to use the  
Provider class (and its relatives) to implement these use cases.

1. User has URI of a Context and wishes to open it.  There are no 
constraints on the provider.

2. User has URI of a Context and wishes to open it using a specific 
provider.

3. User wishes to determine which providers are available for a 
particular Context (URI).

4. User wishes to import a Context whose data is represented in a 
specific format (e.g., LDAP).

5. User wishes to find out which Contexts are available using the 
currently-installed providers.


Anyone with additional use cases should post them to the list.
