The Intake services are a gateway for data to come into Chronopolis. Intake can be handled either by a service or can be performed manually. Intake is NOT synonymous with the term "Staging".
Depending on the route of intake, different tasks may be performed, including but not limited to:
- Creating BagIt Bags from a set of files
- Creating ACE Tokens
- Deserialization (e.g. extracting a tarball)
- Notification of the existing package to the Ingest service
