+/**
+ * *** NOTE: This is currently completely commented-out until we (all VIVO developers) decide on a policy for
+ *           integrating the Harvester with the rest of VIVO.  If Harvester is added to the classpath of VIVO,
+ *           this can be uncommented and will work fine. ***
+
+ * Interface to the Harvester.
+ *
+ * The best approach for doing this is probably a bunch of static methods that call the Harvester main classes.
+ * At first I tried to call the execute() methods, using the object parameters rather than the raw string args,
+ * but that was troublesome for a few reasons, the most important being related to the simple fact that the
+ * Harvester was designed to be used as a collection of command-line tools, and thus we have, for example, the
+ * versatility of Score which would be very difficult to replicate without essentially allowing the user to
+ * pass in a string to be parsed, which would defeat the purpose.
