uvaEAD disseminators and behaviors

• uvaDefault Disseminator / uvaDefaultEAD Mechanism
• getPreview - returns plain text from DescMeta
• getLabel - returns plain text label from DescMeta
• getDescription - returns plain text description from DescMeta
• getFullView(pid) - same as getDynamicView for uvaEAD disseminator
• getDefaultContent - returns raw xml
• uvaMeta Disseminator
• getDescMeta - returns raw xml
• getAdminMeta - returns raw xml
• getDC - returns Dublin Core elements in raw xml
• viewDescMeta(style)
• viewAdminMeta(style)
• viewDC(style)
• uvaEAD Disseminator
• getLabel - returns xml label
• getLabelSTX
• getTreeView - returns xml table of contents
• getTreeViewSTX
• getChunk(id, page, pageNum) - return xml chunk specified by id
• getChunkSTX(id, page, pageNum)
• getDynamicView(pid*, behav*, refb, id, page, pageNum) - returns cocoon app of dynamic view
• getXML - returns raw xml
• uvaOKI Disseminator
• getAssetDefs(childPid, parentPid) - returns asset definitions as xml
• uvaRelation Disseminator / uvaRelationEAD Mechanism
• getChildDescMeta(childPid) - returns descriptive metadata for childPid

• Note: getChunk(element) was once described with separate mechanisms dedicated to each of the section categories. 
• getEntireDoc
• getTitlePage
• getAdminInfo
• getSummaryInfo
• getScopeContentInfo
• getBiogHistInfo
• getComponentInfo

Recommendation:  All current EAD datastreams are consistently encoded and can be handled through a single content model and set of disseminators.
