ARROW Workflow
From the library request:
-> Library submits a query to ARROW
to a licence/information about a licence: -> RRO provides feedback to ARROW
and ARROW to library
□ Based on metadata exchange
□ Works on step by step metadata enrichment
□ Involves Libraries, BiPs and RROs
□ ARROW as interoperability facilitator
□to access and query different systems
□ to retrieve the relevant data
□ to process and exchange this data with other systems
□ to add complementary data from other systems
□ to produce new meaningful information
Information needed is stored in the systems of different organisations for
their own specific purposes.
