Some properties of resources:</p> <ul> <li>A resource may exist in one or more versions.</li> <li>A resource version has its own persistent identifiers and bibliographic metadata (e.g. title, publication date, or creator list may be different between versions).</li> <li>All versions of a resource should be accessible and editable.</li> </ul> <p>The diagram below depicts the core of the record data model.</p> <p><img alt="Record entity model." src="../../img/record-entities.svg" /></p> <ul> <li><strong>Parent record</strong>: An entity representing the resource and all its versions. Properties common to all versions of a resource are stored on the parent record.</li> <li><strong>Record (version)</strong>: A record holds the metadata for a single version of a resource.</li> <li><strong>Draft</strong>: A draft is a temporary record used for supporting e.g. long running editing sessions that allow users to save their partial changes.</li> <li><strong>Record (version) revision</strong>: A record (version) revision is used to track all changes to a record version over time.</li> <li><strong>Version state</strong>: The version state is used to track which record and draft is the latest version.</li> </ul> <div class="admonition tip"> <p class="admonition-title">Version vs revision</p> <p>The terminology version and revision can be somewhat confusing at first. A revision represents <em>a change</em> to a single version of a resource (main purpose is tracking changes). A record version represents a version of a resource and is often associated with changed files and metadata.</p> <p>We have added <code>(version)</code> above to make it clear the relationship between revision and version.</p> </div> <h3 id="parent-record">Parent record<a class="headerlink" href="#parent-record" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3> <p>A parent record stores all properties that are common for all record versions. This includes:</p> <ul> <li>Access information:<ul> <li>Ownership</li> <li>Grants</li> <li>Secret links</li> </ul> </li> <li>Community relations</li> <li>Review</li> </ul> <h3 id="record-version">Record (version)<a class="headerlink" href="#record-version" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3> <p>A record stores bibliographic and administrative metadata for a single version of the resource. The record is what is accessible through search and record landing pages, and thus we also use the term that the record is <strong>published</strong>.</p> <h3 id="draft">Draft<a class="headerlink" href="#draft" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3> <p>A draft is a temporary version of a record used to gather all related objects and save partial changes prior to being published.</p> <p>There's three different types of drafts:</p> <ul> <li><strong>New draft</strong>: The initial draft when no record versions have been published.</li> <li><strong>Edit draft</strong>: A draft of a published record version (used when editing an already published record)</li> <li><strong>Next draft</strong>: A draft without a published record version that is not the initial draft.</li> </ul> <p>These three different states are important because a new version of a record can be created at the same time as multiple older versions are being edited.</p> <p>An important property of a draft is that they are temporary. Thus, they get removed when they are either published or deleted/discarded.</p> <h3 id="record-version-revision">Record (version) revision<a class="headerlink" href="#record-version-revision" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3> <p>Every time a record is created or updated, a copy of the record is written as a <em>record revision</em>. The revisions are tracked per record version and only when the corresponding version draft is published. This ensures that only published changes are tracked.</p> <h3 id="version-state">Version state<a class="headerlink" href="#version-state" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3> <p>The version state holds the following attributes:</p> <ul> <li>parent record</li> <li>latest draft</li> <li>latest index</li> <li>next draft</li> </ul> <p>The version state is used to keep track of what is considered the latest record version. Technically the parent-record relationship is modelled as tree with unordered child nodes. This means there is <strong>no order</strong> on record versions.</p> <p>One record version is designated as the latest version tracked by this state so that it's possible to show only the latest version of a record. It also keeps track of which is the latest draft/next draft if they exist.</p> <p>Lastly, an integer index is incremented every time a new record version is created.</p> <p>The reason that we do not define an order on record versions is because multiple different orders may be relevant. A version history may not necessarily be linear, so it can make sense to order by version number, publication date or order in which the record version was created.</p> <h2 id="files">Files<a class="headerlink" href="#files" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2> <p>A single version of a resource may have one or more files associated. The diagram below depicts how files are modelled:</p> <p><img alt="Model of files for record." src="../../img/record-files.svg" /></p> <ul> <li><strong>Bucket</strong>: A record and draft each have an associated bucket. A bucket can be thought of as a folder in a directory structure. The record and draft each have their own bucket, so it's clear which files belong to a published record and which have not yet been published.</li> <li><strong>File record/file draft</strong>: A file record/draft exists for every logical file and stores metadata about the file. It can be both technical metadata such as file size, checksum, and/or MIME type, but it can also store metadata associated with the file such as image width/height, scientific metadata etc.</li> <li><strong>Object version</strong>: An object version represents an object inside a bucket, and allows for versioning of the file inside the bucket. It's a logical representation of a file.</li> <li><strong>File instance</strong>: A file instance represents a physical file. Multiple object versions may link to the same file instance. This enables deduplication and thereby supports optimizing disk storage usage.</li> </ul> <h2 id="community-relations">Community relations<a class="headerlink" href="#community-relations" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2> <p>A parent record can be part of one or more communities. Being part of community means that the community has ownership of the parent record.</p> <h3 id="relationship">Relationship<a class="headerlink" href="#relationship" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3> <p>The relationship between communities and the parent records are defined using the following many-to-many relation:</p> <ul> <li>Community</li> <li>Parent record</li> <li>Request</li> </ul> <p>The request property is used to link to a request that documents how a record was added to the community. This is not meant for audit logging purposes, but as help to curators of the community.</p> <h3 id="record-versions">Record versions<a class="headerlink" href="#record-versions" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3> <p>Record ownership is defined on the parent record and it's a parent record that's a member of a community, hence all versions of a record are owned by a community.</p> <h3 id="multiple-communities">Multiple communities<a class="headerlink" href="#multiple-communities" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3> <p>A parent record can be owned by one or more users and/or one or more communities. This also means that everything that an uploader can do as owner, the community owners can also do with the record. E.g. a community owner could transfer/remove ownership of the record to another entity.</p> <h3 id="default-record-branding">Default record branding<a class="headerlink" href="#default-record-branding" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3> <p>A record owned by one or more communities may optionally define with which community the record is branded with by default. This is a property on the parent record.</p> <p>The property only defines the <strong>default</strong> branding when a record <strong>is part of multiple communities</strong> and in cases were we cannot automatically decide a community branding. Examples where we cannot determine a community header automatically includes:</p> <ul> <li>A record landing page is accessed through a global search</li> <li>A record landing page is accessed through the DOI.</li> </ul> <p>Note, the default branding property is largely a property that an instance can decide or not to use during rendering of a landing page.</p> <h2 id="reviews">Reviews<a class="headerlink" href="#reviews" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h2> <p>A new draft <em>can</em> have an associated review. Edit drafts and next drafts <em>cannot</em> have an associated review.</p> <p>A review is a relation to a request. Multiple request types are supported (i.e. multiple types of reviews), but each request type must be explicitly allowed to be used as</p> <h3 id="record-states">Record states<a class="headerlink" href="#record-states" title="Permanent link">¶</a></h3> <p>The request itself follows the documented request states and transitions as documented under <a href="../requests/#statuses">requests</a>.</p> <p>The draft goes through its own states as shown below:</p> <p><img alt="Draft review state diagram" src="../../img/review-states.svg" /></p> <p>The initial draft can be one of the following states:</p> <ul> <li>Draft: The draft is yet to be published.</li> <li>Draft with review: The draft is yet to be submitted for review</li> <li>In review: The draft is in review.</li> <li>Review declined: The review was declined.</li> <li>Review expired: The review expired by the system.</li> <li>Published: A record has been created for the draft.</li> </ul> </article> </div> <script>var target=document.getElementById(location.hash.slice(1));target&&target.name&&(target.checked=target.name.startsWith("__tabbed_"))</script> </div> </main> <footer class="md-footer"> <nav class="md-footer__inner md-grid" aria-label="Footer" > <a href="../communities/" class="md-footer__link md-footer__link--prev" aria-label="Previous: Communities"> <div class="md-footer__button md-icon"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M20 11v2H8l5.5 5.5-1.42 1.42L4.16 12l7.92-7.92L13.5 5.5 8 11z"/></svg> </div> <div class="md-footer__title"> <span class="md-footer__direction"> Previous </span> <div class="md-ellipsis"> Communities </div> </div> </a> <a href="../event_handling/" class="md-footer__link md-footer__link--next" aria-label="Next: Event handling"> <div class="md-footer__title"> <span class="md-footer__direction"> Next </span> <div class="md-ellipsis"> Event handling </div> </div> <div class="md-footer__button md-icon"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 24 24"><path d="M4 11v2h12l-5.5 5.5 1.42 1.42L19.84 12l-7.92-7.92L10.5 5.5 16 11z"/></svg> </div> </a> </nav> <div class="md-footer-meta md-typeset"> <div class="md-footer-meta__inner md-grid"> <div class="md-copyright"> <div class="md-copyright__highlight"> Copyright © 2019-2024 CERN, Northwestern University and contributors. </div> Made with <a href="https://squidfunk.github.io/mkdocs-material/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> Material for MkDocs </a> </div> <div class="md-social"> <a href="https://github.com/inveniosoftware" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="github.com" class="md-social__link"> <svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" viewBox="0 0 496 512"><!--!
