Welcome to the arksorg-site wiki!

• Deployment

This repository provides components of the arks.org site, and this wiki provides documentation for site operators and administrators.

Architecture

The arks.org website provides two types of functionality: a site for sharing content about ARK identifiers and a resolver service for resolving ARK identifiers.

Figure 1. provides a high level context view of the arks.org site. The site is administered and operated by the California Digital Library (CDL), and hence deployment and operations follow the CDL policies and procedures. CDL application are typically hosted on AWS infrastructure and deployed and managed using ansible and puppet by CDL administrators or developers. The website content is managed separately in the arks-org/arks.github.io repository. Procedures for editing and updating website content are documented in the Content page.

Figure 1. Context for the arks.org site. The site uses the NAAN Registry as the source of truth for ARK identifier resolvers. The site is typically managed using puppet with rules defined in the UC3 operations repository. Site content is managed in a separate repository hosted by the arks-org organization on GitHub.
