Welcome to the docmeta wiki!

'Doc-Meta' is a document management tool built for Django web apps. As the name indicates, doc-meta is focused on meta-data information. We utilize specific meta data in order to interact with Django--such as setting access control rules for a particular 'class' or 'category' of document.

Users should be able to search by course code, year of study, and calendar year.

At the moment, our work on doc-meta is about basic application functionality.

Our work on application functionality can be grouped into two categories:

1. User Interface

Example questions include:

• How do users upload a document?
• How do users browse content?
• How is content reported?
• Can users bulk download a zip file of selected docs?
• Can users batch process files (if they have permissions to do so)?
• Can we allow anonymous read-only access to certain types of files but not others?

2. Data Model

Example questions include:

• For which types of data do will we have unique records? Where do we need to store multiple records?
• Who can control the access to (and naming of) a document?
• Can admins bulk upload and enter metadata?

Next Steps

1. Support for Citation Management

In the future, CCCS would like to extend doc meta to function as an in-built citation management tool.
