Database Schema¶

The Digital Milliet stores all data in MongoDB.

Digital Milliet commentary entries are stored in the annotations collection.

Author Records are stored in the collection named in the Digital Milliet config file setting AUTHORS_COLLECTION.

IIIF Image annotations are stored in the mirador collection.

(A future enhancement to externalize all collection names is requested in https://github.com/perseids-project/digital_milliet/issues/58)

The schema for the database objects is depicted here:
