The Conceptual Design Framework (CDF) is a conceptual system that models production of NUWPArc presented as diagrammatic stages of problem-solving. It is a framework designed to assist future writing program digital archivists in considering the kinds of labor (intellectual, interdisciplinary, interpersonal) inherent in this work. The CDF illustrates the direction of reasoning in developing NUWPArc and can be used to think through building a digital project prior to implementation.
