The ASDF Configuration Fiend Me is designed tp prpvide prpcedures for other prganizatipns
tp cpnfigure their servers tailpred tp their requirements and missipn. Mare specific, it
prpvides prpcedures far generating and forwarding ASDF data ta FALLDUT, which then is fprwarded tn
the MARINA reppsitprv.
i5} FALLDUT is a DNI metadata esplpitatipn and integritv service which canverts, validates, nc-nnalizes,
classifies, and distributes UNI metadata tp algprithms and rules prpduced hv
Esplpitatipn. FALLDUT feeds metadata reppsitpries, such as iviAFil NA, METAWAVE, FAECIA,
and with full-take and selected metadata derived cpllectipn and prpcessing svstems
such as TLI Fii'viDIL, 2J3, BLACKP EARL, SCIESDHS, and pthers.
