Key Concepts

This section introduces core concepts of the Istari Digital Platform, grouped by topic. Use it to understand how the main building blocks fit together.

• Resources — How files are brought into the platform, given a stable identity, and used as inputs for functions and Systems.
• Systems and Subsystems — Grouping related Resources, composing with Subsystems, organizing Resources with folders, and tracking versions across the group.
• Version control — Resource versions for individual files, and System branches, commits, and change requests for compositions.
• Integrations — How integrations, agents, and jobs connect the platform to DE tools in your infrastructure to extract data and run automated work.
• Sharing and access control — How sharing, roles, infosec levels, and control tags limit who can view or change Resources and Systems.
• Infosec levels — Optional classification schemas, user clearances, and how the platform enforces sensitivity on Resources and Systems.
