Revisions to use case section: addition of aggregate service directory data analysis

Another, distinct use case for querying a human service directory database is for analysis of aggregate resource data to assess resource availability in a given community and/or domain.

Such analysis might be performed by a different type of user – a researcher or analyst, for the purpose of intelligence gathering, advocacy, policy-making, etc – for the purpose of, for instance, community asset mapping, evaluation of population-level health and well-being, etc.

This use case is not specified here. We may not have carefully considered it on its own terms, although it also may be served in a minimally viable capacity by the same functions established for service discovery.

We suggest the following text that could be included as a third bullet in the use case section: 

• Analysis of aggregated services directory information (for community asset mapping, etc) to assess the effectiveness of resource allocation for meeting communities’ needs and addressing social determinants of health at a population-level.
