Functional Requirements1. Newspapers should be retrieved based on issues2. Items may be sorted and retrieved by date of issue3. Multiple editions for particular issues may be related to an issue4. Aggregated and common titles can be used to retrieve user-friendly
results beyond the serials catalog record for a title5. The model must use the NDNP model as a baseline6. Identifiers should be present to correspond with additional metadata
resources whenever possible7. Newspaper content should be retrieval based on copyright associated
with the work at an issue level8. Full-text searching is assumed and not represented in the descriptive
model
