The following architecture shows a complete Common Fund Data Ecosystem (CFDE) project metadata ingest pipeline for a single Data Coordination Center (DCC). The pipeline begins with the DCC providing a Globally-Unique Identifier for an updated metadata manifest. The first stage of the pipeline, the C2M2 Creation Flow, transfers the metadata manifest from the DCC to a temporary staging area. It then reformats the data into a standardized format used across all Common Fund programs. The C2M2 format ensures that similar data from different DCCs is described in the same way in the Common Fund inventory. The C2M2 version of the manifest is packaged in a re-usable format that ensures all parts are present and accounted for when the data is copied, moved to a CFDE repository for long-term storage, and assigned a new GUID.
