Storage#
The curation system uses two databases and three file storage locations. Each of the file storage locations holds files at certain stages of the curation pipeline.
Databases#
Curation Database#
The Curator Database stores state information, user information, and all other information necessary for the curation system to operate. The database runs on Microsoft SQL Server.
Colectica Repository Database#
The Colectica Repository database is used by Colectica Repository to store metadata in DDI format.
File Storage Areas#
Ingest File Storage#
The Ingest File Storage holds newly uploaded files until they are approved for processing. This space is a configurable directory on a file system.
Processing File Storage#
The Processing File Storage holds files after they are approved for processing. This space is a configurable directory on a file system.
Archival File Storage#
The Archival File Storage holds files after they are reviewed, finalized, and pushed to the space. This space is a configurable directory on a file system. Files in this location can be ingested into Fedora Commons or another archival system.
