 * Monitor Technology
 * colspan="2" style="background-color:#E0FFFF;"|Description
 * Preconditions
 * UC-1 Ingest
 * Trigger
 * Develop Preservation Strategies and Standards sends prototype requests to Monitor Technology (Step 9 of UC-5.4) or
 * Develop Packaging Designs and Migration Plans sends [migration software] prototype request to Monitor Technology (Step 6 of UC-5.7)
 * Successful outcome
 * Monitor Technology sends prototype results to Develop Preservation Strategies and Standards and Develop Packaging Designs and Migration Plans
 * Steps
 * 1) Monitor Technology receives prototype requests from Develop Preservation Strategies and Standards (OAIS Page 4-14)
 * 2) Monitor Technology receives prototype requests from Develop Packaging Designs and Migration Plans (OAIS Page 4-14)
 * 3) Monitor Technology creates and tests prototypes (OAIS Page 4-14)
 * 4) Monitor Technology sends prototype results to Develop Preservation Strategies and Standards (OAIS Page 4-14)
 * 5) Monitor Technology sends prototype results to Develop Packaging Designs and Migration Plans (OAIS Page 4-14)

This function may contain a prototyping capability for better evaluation of emerging technologies and receive prototype requests from Develop Preservation Strategies and Standards and from Develop Package Designs and Migration Plans. This function sends reports, external data standards, prototype results and technology alerts to Develop Preservation Strategies and Standards. It also sends prototype results to Develop Package Designs and Migration Plans."
