Overview

DRS models relationships between files and objects. Relationships can indicate derivative relationships between object files, how an object is structured, or associations between content.

Derivative relationships and structural relationships are automatically determined by Batch Builder based on placement of files in particular directories and on file names. Other relationships must be explicitly set by depositors, especially relationships between objects or files being processed in Batch Builder to objects or files already stored in the DRS.

Below is a list of relationships Batch Builder can create for the six content models it currently supports.
