===== Operational Workflow =====

The functioning of the Regexta application is structured as a linear operational workflow, composed of sequential phases that lead from document insertion to the generation and management of the regestum.

The process can be summarized as follows.

----

==== Access to the application ====

The user accesses the “Extract Regesta” page:

  * in public mode (without authentication), or
  * through federated authentication via D4Science (Keycloak), obtaining a Researcher profile.

Depending on the authentication status, the system enables or limits persistence and Collections management functionalities.

----

==== Selection of the document type ====

The user selects an item from the “Select Document Type” menu.

The selection is mandatory and constitutes a prerequisite for starting the extraction.

The chosen type determines the configuration of the linguistic model and the structure of the generated output.

----

==== Document insertion ====

The user provides the document content through one of the following methods:

  * manual insertion of the text in the dedicated area;
  * file upload through the upload function.

Until extraction is performed, the content remains modifiable.

----

==== Regestum extraction ====

Through the “Extract Regestum” command, the system:

  * analyzes the provided text;
  * activates the underlying linguistic model;
  * generates a structured output in the “Output” section;
  * sets the input area to read-only mode.

The document transitions from the “Editable” state to the “Extracted” state.

----

==== Consultation of the output ====

The user may view the generated regestum, composed of structured informational fields.

At this stage, the following operations are available:

  * Export of the result to the local device;
  * Copy Regestum to the clipboard;
  * Save within the platform (authenticated users only);
  * Reset of the process to start a new elaboration.

----

==== Saving and management in Collections (authenticated users only) ====

Authenticated users may:

  * save the generated regestum;
  * associate it with an existing or new Collection;
  * consult documents later in the “Collections” page;
  * navigate among multiple documents through a pagination system.

Saving enables data persistence within the platform.

----

==== Completion of the cycle ====

The operational cycle concludes when the user:

  * exports the result;
  * saves the document within the platform (if authenticated);
  * or performs a reset to start a new elaboration.

The entire process is designed to be repeatable, coherent, and structured, ensuring integrity between the analyzed text and the generated regestum.
