SAS pipeline is built of different entities, studios, shows, elements, and shots. Each entitiy contains a .manifest file with holds and manages data about that entity, and a hidden file to tag the directory as an entity.
Each entity and the tasks it performs are completely software agnostic, it can then be wrapped into more complex situations specific to each DCC.
