For convenience and organization, Alcova is split into two distinct areas. The first area, Project, is for data being utilized in active research projects. This is the primary storage location where most research data is contained. The second area, Data Curation, is for data used in published research, as well as data that is unpublished but still has value to the research community. This area storage is home to intended for data that will no longer be manipulated and/or is not being used in any active research projects.

Alcova is broken down into three two distinct areas: Project, Data Curation: Publications, and Data Curation: Archive.
Project
The Project area is the primary storage area on Alcova. It is a highly collaborative space geared towards project-oriented data storage for use with researcher groups at UWyo and beyond. To provide enhanced collaboration and control, Principal Investigators may assign access permissions to other UWyo users or external users.

The Data Curation area is another storage area on Alcova, further , split into two sub-areas. The first sub-area is called Publications. This is a space for storing and presenting research materials, data, and documentation on the Internet. All data stored here is publicly available for download, and cannot be changed once published. There is no charge for any data stored in Publications as long as it meets UWyo publication criteria. The second sub-area is called Archive. This space is called “cold storage”, meaning it contains unpublished data that is no longer part of an active research project but is still valuable to the research community. Data stored in Archive may not be modified but may be retrieved or transferred to Project for modifications.
