Karan Distribution Archive

Karan is the pure data repository, taxonomy registry, and business configuration archive for the Dataist ecosystem. It contains no execution logic or operating system packages; its sole purpose is to provide metadata and business service definitions to Dataiso.

Directory Structure

• taxonomies/: Contains all industry sectors (e.g., 09_IT_Software_Telecom) and their respective subcategories.
  • metadata.json: Industry or subcategory descriptive information in multiple languages.
  • base-services.yaml: Docker Compose definitions for business tools and services (e.g., accounting, CRM, project management).
• schemas/: JSON Schema definitions for validating metadata files.

How Dataiso Consumes Karan

1. Read Taxonomy: Dataiso reads the selected industry and subcategory from taxonomies/.
2. Load Metadata: Parses metadata.json to present localized names and descriptions to the user.
3. Deploy Services: Reads base-services.yaml to spin up the required business tools via containerization.

Contributing

To add a new industry or subcategory:

1. Create the appropriate folder structure inside taxonomies/.
2. Provide a valid metadata.json matching the schema in schemas/.
3. Define any necessary business apps in base-services.yaml.
