# Processes
|
|
|
|
## 1. Crawl Process
|
|
|
|
The [crawling-process](crawling-process/) fetches website contents and saves them
|
|
as compressed JSON models described in [crawling-model](../process-models/crawling-model/).
|
|
|
|
The operation is specified by a [crawl specification](../process-models/crawl-spec), which can be created in the control GUI.
|
|
|
|
## 2. Converting Process
|
|
|
|
The [converting-process](converting-process/) reads crawl data from the crawling step and
|
|
processes them, extracting keywords and metadata and saves them as parquet files
|
|
described in [processed-data](../process-models/processed-data/).
|
|
|
|
## 3. Loading Process
|
|
|
|
The [loading-process](loading-process/) reads the processed data.
|
|
|
|
It has creates an [index journal](../features-index/index-journal),
|
|
a [link database](../common/linkdb),
|
|
and loads domains and domain-links
|
|
into the [MariaDB database](../common/db).
|
|
|
|
## 4. Index Construction Process
|
|
|
|
The [index-construction-process](index-constructor-process/) constructs indices from
|
|
the data generated by the loader.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
Schematically the crawling and loading process looks like this:
