Document Rendering

Document rendering involves extracting all raw revision documents from Deckhand's database, retrieving encrypted information from Barbican, and applying substitution, layering and replacement algorithms on the data.

The following algorithms are involved during the rendering process:

substitution

Substitution provides an "open" data sharing model in which any source document can be used to substitute data into any destination document.

layering

Layering provides a "restricted" data inheritance model intended to help reduce duplication in configuration.

replacement

Replacement builds on top of layering to provide yet another mechanism for reducing data duplication.
