**Synthesis – connecting entities across sub‑directories**
- The **creators** (@substack, @nchimicles, @arke_institute) appear both as *metadata creators* (via the PINAX file) and as *platform hosts* for the underlying Substack posts (see the *posts* sub‑directory).
- All **subjects** listed for the collection are shared with the *posts* and *newsletter_posts* sub‑directories, establishing a thematic bridge: the Substack platform, medieval‑European religious/economic analysis, and digital‑preservation concerns.
- The **places** associated with the collection (European cities and regions) are also referenced in the *historical analysis* documents of the *posts* sub‑directory, linking geographic context to content.
- The **newsletter‑posts dataset** (from the *newsletter_posts* sub‑directory) contains the same individual documents that are referenced in the *posts* sub‑directory (e.g., @post_125962878_coming_soon ↔ @coming_soon_announcements), illustrating material overlap across collections.
- The **system‑files metadata** (e.g., @file_pinax) ties together the technical preservation layer with the scholarly content, reinforcing the collection’s dual focus on *content* and *digital stewardship*.

**Overall picture**
The **Test‑2 Collection** (@test_2_collection) aggregates:
1. **Content** – Substack tutorials, announcements, and historical essays (from the *posts* sub‑directory).
2. **Newsletter data** – Structured dataset of newsletter posts and their source documents (from the *newsletter_posts* sub‑directory).
3. **Technical assets** – Metadata and system files supporting digital preservation (from the *system_files* sub‑directory).
These three strands converge on a shared set of **subjects**, **places**, and **creators**, forming a cohesive, cross‑source knowledge graph that captures both the scholarly themes and the infrastructural context of the collection.
