This use case is complicated because content and structure has to be analysed in order to create search forms that can be used to retrieve the desired information in the database - see Use Case 3.4.1: Database & EDRM-system. If a tool for a scenario as described in Use case 3.4.4: Analyze with OLAP is developed, the archivist will probably use that for the required modification.
It is difficult to foresee the kind of modification needed. If the DIP is modified to fulfil end-users’ wishes, it may be necessary to create one or more search forms, or to extract specific data according to the order. If the DIP is modified to meet the conditions of access, it may be necessary to reduce the dataset by removing database records, by removing tables, or by removing fields in tables. It may also be necessary to depersonalise records.
If the DIP consists of data from more than one AIP, it can be time consuming to merge the databases and the documents.
