Repository Implementation - Content Models
Content models are formal descriptions for classes of data objects (single units of content, complex data objects, or aggregations of data objects) in a Fedora Repository. Each content model documents the datastreams (media and metadata files) and a set of disseminators that the member objects subscribe to. By definition, all objects of the same class subscribe to the same disseminators and have the same configuration of datastreams that must meet certain standards. The disseminators include the behaviors that encode the varying functionality that an end-user or another system would encounter in the use of an object, and the varying programmatic mechanisms needed to exhibit those behaviors. The specifications here are drawn from meetings and the following reports, and documented as outlines on a screen-by-screen basis, from the search screens(s) through the viewing of individual texts, finding aids, or images. The full reports are available:
