As the name "Brown Dog" suggests the project aims at bringing together a number of external tools as part of the two services being constructed.  For the DAP, which handles conversions, these tools are incorporated as scripts to the Software Servers in Polyglot or as DFDL schemas for Daffodil.  For the DTS, which handles the automatic extraction of metadata and content signatures, tools are incorporated as either extractors for Medici or extractors for Versus. Below we show examples for incorporating each of these components. This overview assumes a basic level of knowledge about the three four main components of the Brown Dog software platform, i.e. Polyglot, Medici, Versus, and VersusDaffodil.  For a more in depth overview of each of these components and their function it is recommended that you first read through their online documentation and/or go through one of the online tutorial videos:

• Polyglot Documentation
• Medici Documentation
• Versus Documentation
• Tutorial Videos

The purpose of this document is to provide quick examples of each means of incorporating tools so as to bootstrap ones ability to include their code within one of the two services.
