#### Work flow engine
The work flow engine (wfe)is a simple state machine that exists only to direct work flow for each REST request, and
editing stages. The wfe does no work, but directs what work is done and the order of work. The wfe is can run
small functions in two categories:
1. test functions that return a boolean based on the underlying state of the application, or user work stage
1. action functions that perform a task
The work flows are encoded in a 4 column table which is presumably more or less legible to
non-programmers. There is only one state table for the entire application.
See the work flow engine readme for more information. (Work flow engine readme)[/snac/Work-flow-engine]
#### Maintenance Functionality
Maintenance falls into four areas: discover, split, merge, and edit.
- Discover is the process of finding errors.
-Splitting is the process of distributing data from one description
-Discovery is the process of finding errors.
- Splitting is the process of distributing data from one description
to two or more new description. This may involve descriptions that
have been incorrectly merged.
- Merging is the process of combining two or more separate
descriptions for the same CPF identity into a single description.
-Editing is the modification of descriptions.
