Interface: StoredEprint

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/storage.interface.ts:64

Stored eprint metadata in Chive's index.

Remarks​

This is an INDEX record, not the source of truth. The authoritative eprint data lives in the user's PDS. This record enables fast searching and browsing without hitting individual PDSes.

Properties​

abstract​

readonly abstract: AnnotationBody

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/storage.interface.ts:132

Rich text abstract with embedded knowledge graph references.

Remarks​

Stored as AnnotationBody (RichTextBody format) with text items and nodeRef items. Uses application/x-chive-gloss+json format.


abstractPlainText?​

readonly optional abstractPlainText: string

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/storage.interface.ts:141

Plain text abstract for full-text search indexing.

Remarks​

Auto-generated from the rich abstract by extracting text content. Indexed for full-text search.


authors​

readonly authors: readonly EprintAuthor[]

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/storage.interface.ts:85

All authors with contributions, affiliations, and metadata.

Remarks​

Unified author list including primary and co-authors. Order is determined by each author's order property.


cid​

readonly cid: CID

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/storage.interface.ts:76

CID of the indexed eprint version.

Remarks​

Used to detect when PDS has a newer version (staleness check).


conferencePresentation?​

readonly optional conferencePresentation: ConferencePresentation

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/storage.interface.ts:290

Conference presentation.

Remarks​

Information about conference where this work was presented.


createdAt​

readonly createdAt: Date

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/storage.interface.ts:324

When the eprint was created (from record).


documentBlobRef​

readonly documentBlobRef: BlobRef

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/storage.interface.ts:151

Blob reference to primary document in user's PDS.

Remarks​

This is a BlobRef (CID pointer), not blob data. The actual document remains in the user's PDS. Supports multiple formats (PDF, DOCX, HTML, Markdown, LaTeX, Jupyter, etc.).


documentFormat​

readonly documentFormat: DocumentFormat

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/storage.interface.ts:159

Detected or user-specified document format.

Remarks​

Auto-detected from MIME type and magic bytes. Defaults to 'pdf'.

readonly optional externalIds: ExternalIds

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/storage.interface.ts:257

External persistent identifiers.

Remarks​

Links to external systems (arXiv, PubMed, SSRN, OpenAlex, etc.)


fields?​

readonly optional fields: readonly object[]

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/storage.interface.ts:210

Research field references from the knowledge graph.

Remarks​

Links to field nodes in the knowledge graph for categorization.


funding?​

readonly optional funding: readonly FundingSource[]

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/storage.interface.ts:282

Funding sources.

Remarks​

Links to CrossRef Funder Registry and ROR for standardized IDs.


indexedAt​

readonly indexedAt: Date

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/storage.interface.ts:319

When this record was indexed by Chive.


keywords?​

readonly optional keywords: readonly string[]

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/storage.interface.ts:202

Keywords for searchability and categorization.

Remarks​

User-provided keywords for the eprint. Indexed for full-text search.


license​

readonly license: string

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/storage.interface.ts:222

License (SPDX identifier).

Example​

"CC-BY-4.0", "MIT", "Apache-2.0"

licenseUri?​

readonly optional licenseUri: AtUri

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/storage.interface.ts:232

AT-URI to license node in the knowledge graph.

Remarks​

Points to a governance-controlled license node (subkind=license). Optional; when present, provides canonical license reference. The license field contains the SPDX identifier for fallback.


needsAbstractMigration?​

readonly optional needsAbstractMigration: boolean

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/storage.interface.ts:303

Indicates the source PDS record uses a legacy abstract format.

Remarks​

Set during indexing when the source record has a plain string abstract instead of the current rich text array format. Used to show migration hints to users. This is indexing metadata, not a domain concept.

The knowledge of legacy formats lives only in the normalization code; this flag simply records whether migration is available.


paperDid?​

readonly optional paperDid: DID

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/storage.interface.ts:104

DID of the paper's own account (if paper has its own PDS).

Remarks​

Optional field for paper-centric account model. When set, blobs and the record itself live in the paper's PDS. When undefined, they live in the submitter's PDS.


pdsUrl​

readonly pdsUrl: string

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/storage.interface.ts:314

URL of the user's PDS where this eprint lives.

Remarks​

Used for:

  • Staleness detection (checking for updates)
  • Fetching blobs for proxying
  • Rebuilding index from source

previousVersionUri?​

readonly optional previousVersionUri: AtUri

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/storage.interface.ts:176

AT URI of previous version (if this is an update).

Remarks​

Used to build version chains for eprints with multiple revisions.


publicationStatus​

readonly publicationStatus: PublicationStatus

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/storage.interface.ts:241

readonly version: number | SemanticVersion

Defined in: src/types/interfaces/storage.interface.ts:186
