GS Dev Requirements
From BRL-CAD
Geometry Service Requirements
- Geometry versioning: revision history of geometry changes such as who did what to the model and for which analysis, when changes were made, by whom, etc.
- Direct association of stored geometry with external data
- Multi-user access controls that allow multiple people to work on the same models at the same time
- Programmable access-controlled interface that utilizes reuseable code for consistent end-to-end access to geometric data.
- Dynamic geometry
- Geometryarticulation and editing constraints
- Unified repository of geometry in one storage location.
- Reuse of identical geometry parts (single instancing).
- Improved/advanced collaboration.
