This will follow the import instructions in _library\_path_ and -regenerate that part of the database from scratch. - -## The Import Procedure - -_library\_path_ is scanned recursively to locate all files that match `*.yaml` -(YAML import options) or `*.jelly` (JSON import options). Each of these files -contains a key `id` that specifies which node is primarily affected and an array -`sources` which lists metadata providers. When all these files have been -evaluated, each node's children are traversed recursively to generate their -paths. The imported libraries structure is a directed acyclic graph (DAG) - -nodes can have multiple parents. - -The Sources are applied in-order to that node with decreasing priority. This -process merges all aquired metadata into single nodes. |
