Overview

When you’re defining a Terminology, you will usually use a “Terminology Builder”:OM/XML/Terminology/Builder.html to create it Each line you put into a “Terminology Builder”:OM/XML/Terminology/Builder.html is passed to the constructor for a “Term Builder”:OM/XML/Term/Builder.html. See the “OM::XML::Term::Builder”:OM/XML/Term/Builder.html API docs for complete description of your options for defining each Term.

The most important thing to define in a Terminology is the root term. This is the place where you set namespaces and schemas for the Terminology

Examples:

Define a Terminology with a root term “mods”, a default namespace of “www.loc.gov/mods/v3” and a schema of “www.loc.gov/standards/mods/v3/mods-3-2.xsd” (schema is optional)

terminology_builder = OM::XML::Terminology::Builder.new do |t|
  t.root(:path=>"mods", :xmlns=>"http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3", :schema=>"http://www.loc.gov/standards/mods/v3/mods-3-2.xsd")
end
terminology = terminology_builder.build

#to_xml(options = {}, document = Nokogiri::XML::Document.new) ⇒ Nokogiri::XML::Document

Return an XML representation of the Terminology and its terms

Examples:

If :children=>false, skips rendering child Terms

terminology.to_xml(:children=>false)

You can provide your own Nokogiri document to insert the xml into

doc = Nokogiri::XML::Document.new
terminology.to_xml({}, document=doc)

Parameters:

  • options, (Hash) —

    the term will be added to it. If :children=>false, skips rendering child Terms

  • (optional) (Nokogiri::XML::Document) —

    document to insert the term xml into

Returns:

  • (Nokogiri::XML::Document)

#xml_builder_template(*term_pointers) ⇒ Object

Retrieves a Term corresponding to term_pointers and return the corresponding xml_builder_template for that term. The resulting xml_builder_template can be passed as a block into Nokogiri::XML::Builder.new

term_pointers point to the Term you want to generate a builder template for If the last term_pointer is a String or a Hash, it will be passed into the Term’s xml_builder_template method as extra_opts see also: Term.xml_builder_template

end

#xpath_for(*pointers) ⇒ Object

Return the appropriate xpath query for retrieving nodes corresponding to the term identified by pointers. If the last argument is a String or a Hash, it will be used to add constraints to the resulting xpath query. If you provide an xpath query as the argument, it will be returne untouched.

#xpath_with_indexes(*pointers) ⇒ Object

Use the current terminology to generate an xpath with (optional) node indexes for each of the term pointers. Ex. terminology.xpath_with_indexes(:conference=>0, :role=>1, :text ) 

will yield an xpath like this: '//oxns:name[@type="conference"][1]/oxns:role[2]/oxns:roleTerm[@type="text"]'
