| DESCRIPTION |
+---------------------------------------------------------------+
| The Food and Drug Administration classifies this software as |
| a medical device. As such, it may not be changed in any way. |
| Modifications to this software may result in an adulterated |
| medical device under 21CFR820, the use of which is considered |
| to be a violation of US Federal Statutes. |

+---------------------------------------------------------------+
This file acts as the entry point into storage. It holds information
about a particular type of artifact (i.e. medical image in DICOM format),
| |
and maps this type of document to its intrinsic retention policy. It also
stores the file extension to be used for files of the given type.
Artifact descriptor records will be inserted during patch installation
time, and are not available for creation or deletion by users. In the
first release, we plan to make them not modifiable as well. In future
releases, we will probably add the ability to change the intrinsic
retention policy for the given artifact descriptor.
