=== Data flavour ===
As of [[#EPrints repository software|EPrints]] [https://www.eprints.org/uk/index.php/eprints-3.4/ 3.4] there are different flavours to service different purposes for a [[#Repository|repository]].  The data flavour is intended for repository hosted research data items, as opposed to research publications.

=== Data object ===
A [[:Category:Data Objects|data object]] is a single record made up of [[#Metadata field|metadata fields]]. [[#EPrints repository software|EPrints repository software]] has various types of data object.  The most prominent are:
* [[EPrint Object]]
* [[User Object]]
* [[Document Object]]
* [[File Object]]
All the data objects of the same type make a [[#Dataset|dataset]].

=== Dataset ===
A [[API:EPrints/DataSet|dataset]] is all the [[#Data object|data objects]] of a particular type within a single repository. (E.g. [[#EPrint|eprint]], [[#User|user]], [[#Document|document]], etc.).  [[#Virtual dataset|Virtual datasets]] exist for subsets of datasets such as [[#Live archive|live archive]], [[#Review buffer|review buffer]], etc.

=== Depositing user ===
This is the user who created the [[#EPrint|eprint]] and has deposited it to the [[#Review buffer|review buffer]].

=== Details tab ===
This is a tab in a [[#Data object|data object]]'s [[#View page|view page]] that lists all its [[#Metadata field|metadata fields]] and their values.  Where a [[#Workflow|workflow]] exists for the data objects these metadata fields are separated into separate sections, depending on the [[#Workflow stage|workflow stage]] in which they appear.

=== Division ===
This is a generic term to refer to a part of an organisation or institution, at any level of its hierarchy.  A division may be a faculty, school, department, academic unit or even research group.  If [[#EPrints repository software|EPrints repository software]] is used outside an academic context other names for sub-divisions may be applicable.

Divisions is a default [[#Metadata field|metadata field]] in the [[#EPrint|eprint]] [[#Data object|data object]].  It allows one or more divisions to be selected from a hierarchical list provided by the [[#Archive|archive]]'s [[#Subject tree|subject tree]].  This can in turn be used to generate a [[#Browse view|browse view]] for divisions.

=== Document ===
A [[Document Object|document]] is a [[#Second class data object|second class]] [[#Data object|data object]] in [[#EPrints repository software|EPrints repository software]].  Documents must be part of an [[#EPrint|eprint]] object.  Sometimes the term is used interchangeably with the actual document file (e.g. a PDF, Word document, etc.).  To avoid confusion, it is best to refer to a document within EPrints as a "document object".  A document object can be associated with multiple [[#File|file objects]].  Typically because derived files are generated to provide [[#Preview image|preview and thumbnail images]] but also because multiple files can be uploaded for a single document object.

=== Document content ===
Document content is a [[#Metadata field|metadata field]] for the [[#Document|document object]].  It allows selections of a single value from a pre-defined list (i.e. a [[#Named set|named set]]) metadata field.  The options provided are intended to help describe the version of the document (e.g. draft, submitted version, accepted, updated) within the publication lifecycle or other types of content that may be uploaded (e.g. supplemental, presentation, cover image, metadata, bibliography, other).  These are based on the [http://eprints.lse.ac.uk/64948/1/LSE%20Library_Versions%20toolkit_Author_2008.pdf Versions toolkit for authors] but are analogous to other definitions, such as:
* Author's Original Manuscript (AOM) is equivalent to submitted.
* Accepted Manuscript (AM) is equivalent to accepted.
* Version of Record (VoR) is equivalent to published.

=== Document security ===
Document security is a [[#Metadata field|metadata field]] for the [[#Document|document object]].  It defines who can access document file and any files in derived document objects (e.g. [[#Preview image|preview images]]).  By default this is one of three values:
* public - anyone
* validuser - registered [[#User|users]] (for the [[#Archive|archive]]) only.
* staffonly - repository staff (i.e. [[#Editor|editor]] and [[#Repository admin|repository administrator]] users) only.
If one of the last two option is applied with an [[#Embargo|embargo]] that expires on a certain date, then the security value for that document will be updated to ''public'' on that date.

=== Documents directory ===
This is a directory found under the [[#Archive|archive's]] directory structure, (i.e. ''EPRINTS_PATH/archives/ARCHIVEID/documents/'').  This is where the uploaded [[#Document|documents]] for an [[#EPrint|eprint]] are stored under the latter's own sub-directory (e.g. eprint 1234 has documents sub-directory ''documents/00/00/12/34/''). Each document is stored in its own two-digit sub-directory based on its ''pos'' [[#Metadata field|metadata field]], which is zero-padded if the number is less than 10. The sub-directory also stores derived "documents" for those uploaded (e.g. preview and thumbnail images).  It also stores [[#Revision file|revision files]] in the eprint's own ''revisions'' sub-directory.

=== Dynamic Pages ===
Dynamic pages are pages that are generated each time the page is loaded. The most common example of this is the search pages, another example is the [[#Latest tool | Latest tool]] page. Plugins may add additional pages, eg: irstats2 adds dynamic stats page.
