Re: [gutvol-d] Some specific thoughts on the scan repository (directory,format, etc.)

So, does DP keep an internal identifier and associated metadata for each project it works on?

Yup.

And will it be pretty easy to associate a scan set with that DP identifier, or will it require some human intervention to make the association?

If the scan set knows its DP project id, then the association is there. If it doesn't, then someone will have to find out what it is. I'm not sure I understand the question.

And does the DP identifier correlate to a PG text identifier?

The DP database maintains the relation. Mostly it's one-to-one, sometimes many-to-one, and rarely one-to-many or many-to-many. The DP database can handle the first two. -Michael
