The HOPE system consists of different parts. These parts are the local systems of Content Providers, the HOPE Aggregator, the HOPE PID service, the HOPE Shared Object repository (henceforth SOR) and the discovery services. Figure 1 shows a diagram of the component parts of the HOPE system and of the data-flows can be found. This diagram is derived from the high level design1. Figure 1 shows a proposed updated version of the diagram. In the hope consortium is agreed that the HOPE SOR won‟t provide the upload to social sites. Therefore it is left out and not mentioned further in this.
