Overview

This class ties together many of the lower-level modules, and implements something akin to an ActiveRecord-alike interface to fedora. If you want to represent a fedora object in the ruby space, this is the class you want to extend.

The Basics

class Oralhistory < ActiveFedora::Base
  has_metadata "properties", type: ActiveFedora::SimpleDatastream do |m|
    m.field "narrator",  :string
    m.field "narrator",  :text
  end
end

The above example creates a Fedora object with a metadata datastream named “properties”, which is composed of a narrator and bio field.

Datastreams defined with has_metadata are accessed via the datastreams member hash.
