# Technical Documentation
This document provides technical information about various workflows related to updating and editing the schema and documentation site.
## About This Project
The ISEAL Core Metadata Set is maintained primarily in CSV format. This decision was made to maintain a balance between being human and machine readable. Currently the project consists of:
- The ISEAL Core Metadata Set, which lives in `data/iseal-core.csv`
- The FSC<sup>®</sup> extension, which lives in `data/fsc.csv`
From the CSV we use a series of Python scripts to create the RDF ([TTL](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtle_(syntax))) representations of the schema as well as the HTML documentation site. All of this is automated using GitHub Actions (see `.github/workflows`) whenever there is a new commit in the repository.
## General Requirements
- Python 3.7+
