+      <section name="Introduction">
+        <p>
+          This is the developer guide for the Apache OODT Catalog and Archive 
Service (CAS) 
+          Program Generation Executable (PGE) component, or CAS-PGE for short. 
This guide 
+          explains the CAS-PGE architecture as well as its tailorable 
extension 
+          points. 
+         
+        <p>The remainder of this guide is separated into the following 
sections:</p>
+       <ul>
+        <li><a href="#section1">Project Description</a></li>
+        <li><a href="#section2">Architecture</a></li>
+        <li><a href="#section3">Extension Points</a></li>
+      </ul>
+        </p>
+      </section>
+    
+      <a name="section1"/>
+      <section name="Project Description">
+        <p>In order to fully understand the CAS-PGE component, it is helpful 
to have a solid grasp
+        of the CAS Workflow component. If you need some background on CAS 
Workflow, please
+        see our <a href="../../workflow/development/developer.html">CAS 
Workflow Developer Guide</a>.
+        With CAS Workflow in mind, it is often the case that CAS Workflow is 
used as part of a data 
+        processing system - where 
+        workflows are responsible for controlling the run order of different 
Product Generation 
+        Executables (PGEs). In circumstances like this, CAS-PGE can help wrap 
a PGE as part of a
+        CAS Workflow. One can think of a PGE as a piece of code, which given a 
set of inputs, 
+        generates output files. Thus, CAS-PGE is designed to help accomplish 
the most common actions 
+        required to run PGEs: ie. finding their input files, executing the 
PGE, and saving their output files. 
+        CAS-PGE performs some of these actions by interacting with a second 
CAS component as well: 
+        CAS File Manager.  The CAS File Manager can be part of this type of 
workflow-based data processing 
+        system, which manages data files, and can support metadata-filtering 
queries across those
+        files to allow for fast retrieval. In other words, CAS File Manger 
complements CAS-PGE by 
+        supporting file cataloging for files involved in PGE operations. </p>
+        <p>In summary, CAS-PGE's role is to provide tools for 
+        encapsulating PGEs; however, it also seeks to leverage and make the 
use of other CAS 
+        components to support the aforementioned goal.</p>

+      <section name="Architecture">
+      <p>[TBD]</p>
+      </section>
+      
+      <a name="section3"/>
+      <section name="Extension Points">
+         <p>PGEs usually need a method by which information is given to them 
on how
+               to run, what to run with (i.e. input files), and where to place 
the
+               output files as well as what to name them. CAS-PGE accomplishes 
this, and other tasks,
+               by making use of customizable extension points.
+        </p>
+        <p>The following is a description of the most common extension 
points</p>
+        <ul>
+          <li><b>SciPgeConfigFileWriter</b> - writes configuration files for 
describing how a 
+          PGE will run, with which input files it will run with, and where the 
output will be placed</li>
+          <li><b>PcsMetFileWriter</b> - controls which metadata should be sent 
to the CAS File 
+          Manager (with each output file) for ingestion</li>
+          <li><b>PGETaskInstance</b> - an extensible module which performs the 
most generic 
+          and common actions required by typical PGEs. This module makes 
getting started with a
+          default PGE configuration simple.</li>
+          <li><b>PgeConfigBuilder</b> - builds a PgeConfig object, which has 
the ability to
+          control how a CAS-PGE will run</li>
+          </ul>
+          
+          <p>The relationship between these extension-points and other CAS-PGE 
components 
+          is described in the below figure. </p>
+          
+          <p><img src="../images/pge_instance_plugin_points.png" 
+        alt="Extension Points"/></p>    
+          
+          <subsection name="Runtime Execution">
+          <p>
+          In terms of runtime execution, CAS-PGE makes use of two mediums to 
configure how a 
+          PGE will run: metadata and a 
+          PgeConfig object. Using these two pieces of information, CAS-PGE can 
configure how 
+          many configuration files it should generate, which 
SciPgeConfigFileWriter(s) to use to create 
+          these configuration files, which output files need which 
PcsMetFileWriter to generate their
+               metadata for CAS File Manager ingestion, how to run the PGE, 
which CAS File
+               Manager to talk to, etc.  For the first medium (metadata), 
there is a set of reserved metadata
+               fields that CAS-PGE expects, which affects the way CAS-PGE runs 
(i.e. which CAS
+               File Manager to ingest to).  For the second medium (PgeConfig), 
the PgeConfigBuilder builds up a 
+               PgeConfig object, which can also control how CAS-PGE runs.
