Some items to note about these pariticular wireframes:

They try to stay true to the existing R&D framework where possible
NYU Files (Xythos) is the default repository for file storage here; however several other file storage or file management repositories are slated to be integrated.
In addition, we have introduced the concept of treated external hosted content as a resource as well with the "Link to a resource on the Web" option. People would be able to tag, and repurpose an external file as well (see UC_?)
- note: the NYU faculty that initially saw these wireframes were especially receptive to this concept
Because of this fact, Content and Media has become "My Resources" based on some feedback we have heard. And what would display in "My Resources" will ultimately be an aggregate of all the resources that are linked to a person across multiple repositories, and external sources
- Will provide a link that writes up the technical approach for this soon
Also based on feedback, the links "All Files; My Files; My Contacts Files; and Files on My Sites" were removed. People felt this was duplicating the Filter by options; and the strong message back was "I don't care where a file is stored...I just want to see my stuff all in one place."
