# EasyDB Media Database Documentation

This source provides the operational guidelines and functional description of **EasyDB**, the media database provided by the **Universitätsrechenzentrum (URZ)** for the **Universität Greifswald**.

## Core Functionality
EasyDB is designed for tagging, organizing, presenting, and sharing media files (primarily images). It is explicitly distinguished from [[zentrale-datenspeicherung]], which is recommended for collaborative working on files.

## Key Features
- **Access Control**: Integration with the [[zentraler-nutzeraccount]].
- **Organization**: Use of **Pools** (exclusive storage) and **Mappen** (thematic grouping via drag-and-drop).
- **Metadata**: Support for customizable input masks, including the **Dublin Core** standard and automated metadata mapping during upload.
- **Sharing**: Ability to create internal sharing folders for university members and external download links for third parties.
- **Data Integrity**: Implementation of a **Doublette-Check** (duplicate detection) during the import process.

## Support
Technical issues are handled via the [[groupware]] ticket system or the URZ hotline (ext. 1420).
