9.2 Approach

We’ll take some guidance from the C4 model ( https://c4model.com) when looking at our approach.

  • Context: For this project, the context diagram has expanded to three use cases: acquire, inspect, and clean.

  • Containers: There’s one container for the various applications: the user’s personal computer.

  • Components: There are two significantly different collections of software components: the acquisition program and the cleaning program.

  • Code: We’ll touch on this to provide some suggested directions.

A context diagram for this application is shown in Figure 9.1.

A component diagram for the conversion application isn’t going to be as complicated as the component diagrams for acquisition applications. One reason for this is there are no choices for reading, extracting, or downloading raw data files. The source files are the ND JSON files created by the acquisition application.

The second reason the conversion...
