Notice Information

Notice Title

Transformation Engine Continued Development

Notice Description

Previous work on Transformation Engine has implemented a scalable transformation workflow for judgments, built in an AWS infrastructure, taking transferred court judgments and upper tribunal decisions from TDR, transforming them to create xml for publication and delivering them to the Find Case Law service. The next phase of work will make improvements to this initial pipeline and add a further transformation workflow to deliver records, including official-sensitive data, transferred from TDR to DRI in a format suitable for ingest into our preservation system. Our preference is the use of open-source systems. This second pipeline will build on the existing judgments pipeline but look to separate processes to create a decoupled approach. This second pipeline will be evaluated against a different approach (run by TNA staff) to enable us to determine the best long-term technical approach for a scalable, supportable service that will enable us to add new transformation workflows quickly.
