Add `metadata_community` as an envelope & DB attribute #15

Closed science closed 8 years ago

science commented 8 years ago

We need a concept of a metadata_community scoping feature in the product. This means that organizations can submit envelopes to a specific community by including that attribute in the envelope.

The server, when it receives an envelope directed at a specific community would resolve the community and undertake validation of the envelope and resource based on the community.

Once the envelope & resource are persisted into the DB, the backup to archive.org would also be partitioned by community. So each metadata_community would have an archive.org collection that it is configured to back up to. Each community would back up to a distinct archive.org collection.

LR nodes should not accept /publish api for communities that it is not pre-configured to accept.

Propose that we call this field envelope_community instead of metadata_community as some people are getting confused about what a metadata community even means. What we're really talking about is a community that is set up to share envelopes. And those envelopes are passed through a special validation process based on the community they are affiliated with..
