Drastic is a data management solution written in Python that allows users to upload, describe, and archive data resources. Data is managed in a distributed Cassandra database. All changes to data in the repository are followed by a message that describes the change. By responding to messages, the usual repository functions may be extended to include arbitrary workflow. For more information, please see the project website.
The primary interface to Drastic is the Django application in this repository. It includes a web-based user interface, as well as the CDMI and WEBDAV APIs.
We aim to make the DRAS-TIC project as participatory as possible. We will make announcements via Twitter at @DRASTIC_Repo. You can also find news and updates on the DRAS-TIC project site.
Management of an Drastic instance is done via the drastic command line interface, which is available from inside the previously created virtualenv. See https://github.com/UMD-DRASTIC/drastic for more information on running the commands.
