+PDF Trio (ML Classification)
+==============================
+
+This document describes how we intent to integrate the first generation of PDF
+classification work into the sandcrawler processing system.
+
+- abstractions (APIs)
+- schemas
+- how models and dependencies are deployed
+- what code is release where under what license
+
+
+## Code Structure
+
+Major components:
+
+**Training code, documentation, datasets:** Not used at run-time (does not need
+to be deployed). Should be public. The datasets (PDFs) are copyrighted, so we
+should only release URL lists that point to wayback.
+
+**Models:** all are static, uploaded to archive.org items, simple download to
+deploy. Should be versioned, and have unique versioned file names or directory
+paths (aka, deploy in parallel).
+
+**Image classifier backend:** vanilla tensorflow serving docker image, with a
+bunch of invocation configs, plus static models.
+
+**BERT backend:** vanilla tensorflow serving docker image, plus config, plus
+models. Basically same as image classifier.
+
+**API service:** currently Flask. Depends on tools like imagemagik, fasttext,
+pdftotext. Seems like apt+pipenv should work?
+
+
+## API Refactors
+
+Changes:
+
+- probably re-write README?
+- refactor python code into directories
+- add python tests
+- tweak schema
+- proper parallelization: uwsgi? async?
+
+New features:
+
+- option to send images, raw text in batches in addition to PDFs.
+
+## Client Code
+
+Basically just like GROBID client for now. Requests, JSON.
+
+## JSON Schema
+
+Output that goes in Kafka topic:
