Workflow - a representation of a graph that describes the routing rules for a set of MGMs. The input of a workflow is a content file.

Workflow output - a file produced by an MGM for a particular content file; a given MGM or *workflow job *may produce multiple workflow outputs

Metadata Generating Mechanism (MGM) - a machine-learning tool or a human interaction tool that can be added to a workflow to create / edit metadata for a content file.

Supplemental file - any file that is provided to supplement the information about a collection, an item, or a content file.

Intermediary file - a file that produced as part of a workflow that can be re-used as input into another workflow (ex: an amp_transcript file produced by the AWS Transcribe MGM)
