The CUAHSI archive integration consists of the following elements:

Archive MVC
- This defines which archive is selected along with a couple of configuration parameters such as user credentials as well as the frequency at which data are sent to the archive
- Currently this is limited to CUAHSI
- It also schedules cron jobs using the "Whenever" gem
- Credential are securely stored stored in the config/archive.yml file
ArchiveJob MVC
- This MVC acts a a job scheduler, tracking the status of which data need to be archived
- It also tracks the success status of each attempted transmission
- Jobs are created by the archive:create_jobs rake task (this is called by the cron job)
- Data are sent to the archive by the archive:send_data rake task
Contact Info fields were added to the Profile (this is required by CUAHSI)
Several Controlled Vocabularies / Ontologies were integrated into the portal specifically to enable CUAHSI compatibility:
- MeasuredProperties
- SiteType
- TopicCategory
- Units
- GeneralCategory
