Hydra Tutorial Application

The tutorial will:

• installs basic application prerequisites
• generate a new rails application
• walks through building a Hydra model:
  • first, as a AF::Base object with an XML datastream
  • then, with a simple OM terminology for a basic, contrived schema
  • finally, with a simple MODS-based terminology
• wire the model into Rails using standard Rails scaffolding
• adding blacklight and hydra-head gems for object discovery
• add a basic rspec/capybara test

Throughout the process, there's a number of prompts to poke around the rails console and/or in a browser. At the end of the tutorial, you have a working Hydra Head for adding MODS-based metadata records. In the next release, I'll try to wire in file uploads, collections, etc.
