Project

Consider an anonymization project to be a folder, where we work on anonymization of some group of data. For example a group of data from business point of view. In most cases there would be only one or a couple of projects.

You can create a new project by hand or by a command:

evl anon project new my_project

It will create new directory my_project in current folder with default settings and subfolder structure.

Or you can a new project with sample data and configuration:

evl anon project sample $HOME/my_sample_project

It will create new directory my_sample_project in your home folder with a sample project.

The anonymization project directory structure is:

build/

files generated by ‘evl anon build’ command

configs/

configuration csv files and settings sh files

lib/

folder for custom anonymization functions

run/

anonymization jobs generated by ‘evl anon build’ command

worflow/

workflows generated by ‘evl anon build’ command

All files in build, run and workflow directories are completely generated based on configuration file(s) configs/<source_name>.csv.
