Top-down model (central authority) Central management of some sort 1 2 3 4 5 ICOLC Rome October 2006
Top-down management • Many different flavors • Central authority can be • purchasing agent (and bill back for costs) • funding agent • Hardware/software host • Database quality – consistency manager • Various combinations of the above ICOLC Rome October 2006
Hybrid top down model Central management of some sort 6A 1 2 3 4 5 6B 6C ICOLC Rome October 2006
