    The choices made for each of the questions posed will bear, with differing degrees of influence, on the choices made with respect to all of the other issues. For example, the goals of the system will influence what data are collected about individuals. What data are collected about individuals will constrain the possible goals of the system. Who is allowed to use the system will have a bearing on what legal structures are needed. What legal structures are put in place will bear on what kinds of access to the system are allowed. And so on.
