# 1. Introduction

This document is a Specification of Software Requeriments (SSR) for the bibliographic system for automatic distribuited publication Donantonio. All this contents has been elaborated considering the needs observed by the experience of the authors of Internet's publication. This specification has been structured inspired in the directrixes gived by the standard IEEE Recommended Practice for Software Requirements Specification ANSI/IEEE 830 1998.

## 1.1. Purpose

The object of the specification is to define in a clear and exact way all the functionalities and restrictions of the system it wants to build. The document goes directed so much to the development equipment, like the members of the projects of free documentation and the community of possible end users. This document will be the communication channel between the implied parts, taking part in its preparation, members from each part. This specification is subject to revisions by the implied parts, specially by the potentials usuaries, that will be picked up by successive versions of the document, until reach its approval. Once approved it will serve as base to the equipment of development for the construction of the new system.

## 1.2. Scope of the system.

This system is required as a result of the increasing complication of the publication workings of documentation of free software.

It's evident the needed of a informatic system that it automates the publication workings of documents in Internet, in such form that are guaranteed the easy location of them and a fast availability to the users.

Using bibliographical norms it can become general the use and application of the system to any type of information susceptible to be classified.

The scope of the developed system reaches until the production of clients and servers for Donantonio, communication protocols between them and user interfaces; preferring the design of a system that can be embedded in other compatible applications so these can as well be compatible applications (clients, servers or interfaces) with Donantonio.

In section 3 the requirements are defined in detail what must satisfy the system.
