The Catalog Ingest Tool (CITool) is intended to streamline the ingestion process. The legacy process involves a myriad of tools and manual steps in order to ingest catalog files submitted by the nodes into the PDS central catalog. CITool offers three functions:

• Compare a Catalog Submission
  The comparison function is intended for both Discipline Node and Engineering Node Data Engineers to determine the differences between previous submissions and a current submission.
• Validate a Catalog Submission
  The validation function is also intended for both Discipline Node and Engineering Node Data Engineers to validate a current submission including checks for referential integrity.
• Ingest a Catalog Submission
  The ingestion function is intended for the Engineering Node Operator to ingest the current submission into the PDS central catalog.
