archiva/archiva-modules/metadata/content-model.txt

The following is the intended content model for the metadata content repository:

.
`-- repositories/
    `-- central/
        |-- config/
        |   |-- name=
        |   |-- storageUrl=
        |   `-- uri=
        |-- content/
        |   `-- org/
        |       `-- apache/
        |           `-- archiva/
        |               `-- platform/ -- these are known as "organizational units", of arbitrary depth. Equiv to groupId in Maven
        |                   `-- scanner/ -- this is the project - equivalent to artifactId in Maven
        |                       |-- 1.0-SNAPSHOT/ -- this is the version best used to describe the project ("marketed version")
        |                       |   |-- scanner-1.0-20091120.012345-1.pom/ -- filename is a node, each is distinct except for checksums, etc.
        |                       |   |   |-- asc=
        |                       |   |   |-- created=
        |                       |   |   |-- maven:buildNumber=
        |                       |   |   |-- maven:packaging=
        |                       |   |   |-- maven:timestamp=
        |                       |   |   |-- md5=
        |                       |   |   |-- sha1=
        |                       |   |   |-- size=
        |                       |   |   |-- updated=
        |                       |   |   `-- version= -- the actual version of the file
        |                       |   |-- created=
        |                       |   |-- description=
        |                       |   |-- name=
        |                       |   |-- organizationName=
        |                       |   |-- organizationUrl=
        |                       |   `-- updated=
        |                       |-- maven:artifactId=
        |                       `-- maven:groupId=
        `-- metadata/

(To update - run "tree --dirstfirst -F" on the unpacked content-model.zip from the sandbox)

Notes: 

1) Projects are just a single code project. They do not have subprojects - if such modeling needs to be done, then we can create a products
tree that will map what "Archiva 1.0" contains from the other repositories.

2) There is not Maven-native information here, other than that in the maven: namespace. pom & other files are not treated as special - they are
each stored and it is up to the reader to interpret

3) artifact data is not stored in the content repository (there is no data= property on the file). The information here is enough to locate the
file in the original storageUrl when it is requested
