Carta Collections ================= Carta Collections separates the details of data storage while both enforcing data structure and providing user aids that simplify compliant data collection. `Carta Collections `__ is currently hosted by Contextualize at https://collection.contextualize-dev.com/. Initial Setup ------------- To obtain a user account contact customer.service@contextualize.us.com with the email address you plan to use as the account.
