Development Approach
•First year:  emphasize prototyping and experimentation, leading to real demos but not necessarily production-level software or system
–Many IT tools now available; extensive evaluation through prototypes necessary to refine choices
– Set up framework for more formal software management (baseline, test, revision control) for a distributed development effort in year 2
–
•NSF ITR project is not expected to define and “deliver” the entire NVO
