Publishing App for Specialist Documents.
This application does not store documents in a database of its own. Instead it uses Publishing API to store and retrieve documents. MongoDB is used for storing local user records.
Formats can be flagged as pre-production (only publishable on development and integration). Read Creating and editing specialist document typesfor details.
Some live examples
Nomenclature
-
Format: Category of a Document. Format names are listed in the
Live Examples section above and include MAIB Reports and CMA Cases.
-
Finder: Sometimes Formats are referred to as Finders. They are called ‘Finders’ because each one of them creates a finder on GOV.UK, e.g. https://www.gov.uk/raib-reports. The formats are served by Finder Frontend.
-
Document: Specialist Documents are created by Government editors and can be published to GOV.UK. Documents differ depending on their format, largely determined by the format’s schema.
-
Schema: JSON files defining attributes for each format, including
base_path, document_noun and document_type. It also contains the facets and their possible values for each document_type which are displayed by _form.html.erb.
