Pipeline

Repository Intake
  -> Inventory Scan
  -> Metadata Normalization
  -> Duplicate Detection
  -> Concept Extraction
  -> Relationship Extraction
  -> Canonicality Scoring
  -> Registry Generation
  -> Search Index Build
  -> Graph Build
  -> Website Build
  -> Validation
  -> Publish
  -> Version Archive

Stages

  1. Inventory scan Emit machine-readable catalog and repository statistics.
  2. Metadata normalization Validate front matter, controlled vocabularies, IDs, and dates.
  3. Relationship extraction Generate concept, citation, lineage, and similarity edges.
  4. Registry generation Materialize evidence, hypothesis, experiment, and decision indexes.
  5. Search index build Produce lexical, semantic, and graph-aware indexes.
  6. Site generation Build a static site from content and generated data.
  7. Validation Check broken links, missing metadata, duplicate IDs, stale lineage, and empty canonical pages.
  8. Publish and archive Publish the current site and preserve immutable build artifacts for historical reconstruction.
