Overview

Provides a natural syntax for using OM Terminologies to access values from xml Documents

Note: All of these examples assume that @article is an instance of OM::Samples::ModsArticle. Look at that file to see the Terminology.

Examples:

Return an array of the value(s) “start page” node(s) from the second issue node within the first journal node

# Using DynamicNode syntax:
@article.journal(0).issue(1).pages.start
# Other ways to perform this query:
@article.find_by_terms({:journal => 0}, {:issue => 1}, :pages, :start)
@article.ng_xml.xpath("//oxns:relatedItem[@type=\"host\"]/oxns:part[2]/extent[@unit="pages"]", {"oxns"=>"http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3"})

Return an NodeSet of the _first titles_ of all journal nodes

# Using DynamicNode syntax:
@article.journal.title(1)
# Other ways to perform this query:
@article.find_by_terms(:journal, {:title => 1})
@article.ng_xml.xpath("//oxns:relatedItem[@type=\"host\"]/oxns:titleInfo/oxns:title[1]", {"oxns"=>"http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3"})

Find all of the titles from all journals & return the first title Node from that NodeSet

# Using DynamicNode syntax:
@article.journal.title[1]
# Other ways to perform this query:
@article.find_by_terms(:journal, :title)[1]
@article.ng_xml.xpath("//oxns:relatedItem[@type=\"host\"]/oxns:titleInfo/oxns:title", {"oxns"=>"http://www.loc.gov/mods/v3"})[1]
