Staging areas are directories on your local machine that hold data products to be curated. The staging area can have arbitrary structure. The only requirement that CAS-Curator has with regard to this structure is that the directory structure be mirrored in a metadata generation area. This generation area is used by CAS-Curator to create metadata files to associate with data products.
For example, if there is a product, say an MP3 file of Bach's Der Geist hilft unsrer Schwachheit auf, in the staging area at:

Wiki Markup{{\[staging_area_base\]/audio/classical/bach/Der_Geist_hilft.mp3}}

Wiki MarkupThen the CAS-Curator will generate all associated metadata products in {{\[metadata_gen_base\]/audio/classical/bach/}}.
In order to set up the staging area and the metadata generation area, we first create base directories for each, shown below:

mkdir /usr/local/staging
mkdir /usr/local/staging/products
mkdir /usr/local/staging/metadata
