UDH Source Ingestion Cross-Reference.
A standardized view of university, government, nonprofit, and commercial data sources UDH can integrate, including the data available from each source and how UDH can load and refresh it.
Source Integration Matrix.
Ingestion Type describes how data can enter UDH. Ingestion Methodology describes how UDH loads and refreshes that data. Availability may vary by source, licensing arrangement, and institutional access.

Standard Ingestion Terminology.
Controlled terminology used throughout UDH source-integration design and documentation.
Ingestion Type
Application Programming Interface (API)UDH retrieves data programmatically from the source system.
Database ConnectorUDH connects to source database data directly or through an authorized database connection or replication process.
Secure File Transfer Protocol (SFTP)Files are securely transferred to UDH using SFTP for ingestion and processing.
Data FeedData is provided through a vendor-, agency-, association-, or source-published feed or downloadable dataset.
Manual UploadFiles are manually provided to UDH for ingestion and processing.
Ingestion Methodology
Initial Bulk LoadInitial historical or full-population load of source data.
Incremental DeltaOnly new or changed records are retrieved after the initial load.
Change Data Capture (CDC)Changes are continuously or periodically captured from database transaction logs or change streams.
Scheduled Bulk LoadA complete source or vendor extract is received and loaded on a defined schedule.
Scheduled BatchNew or newly published source data is processed periodically on a defined schedule.
