This repository provides the implementation of the NIST Publishing Data Repository (PDR) platform, the technology that provides the NIST Data Publishing Repository (DPR).

docker/    --> Docker containers for running tests
java/      --> Java source code (none at this time)
python     --> Python source code for the metadata and preservation
                services
scripts    --> Tools for running the services and running all tests

The oar-metadata package is a prerequisite which is configured as git sub-module of this package. This means after you clone the git repository, you should use git submodule to pull in the oar-metadata package into it:

git submodule update --init

See oar-metadata/README.md for a list of its prerequisites.

As an alternative to explicitly installing prerequisites to run the tests, the docker directory contains scripts for building a Docker container with these installed. Running the docker/run.sh script will build the containers (caching them locally), start the container, and put the user in a bash shell in the container. From there, one can run the tests or use the jq and validate tools to interact with metadata files.
