Datastream managment

Creates a new Datastream in the object.
If the object has state "Active" this method will fail. It is only allowed on Inactive and Deleted objects.

boolean versionable Enable versioning of the datastream. This should be on for DOMS GUI usages.
String MIMEType The mime-type of the datastream.
String formatURI The format URI of the datastream.
String dsLocation Location of managed, redirect, or external referenced datastream content.
String controlGroup One of "X", "M", "R", or "E" (Inline XML, Managed Content, Redirect, or External Referenced). For DOMS GUI, use Inline XML or External Referenced.
String dsState One of "A", "D", or "I" (Active, Deleted, or Inactive).
String checksumType The algorithm used to compute the checksum. For DOMS GUI usage, may take value "DISABLED" or "MD5".

Relationship managment
addRelationship
Creates a new relationship in the object. Adds the specified relationship to the object's RELS-EXT Datastream. If the Resource Index is enabled, the relationship will be added to the Resource Index.
A rdf tuple consist of an object, having a predicate relating it to a subject. The subject can either be a literal value, or another object.
If the object has state "Active" this method will fail. It is only allowed on Inactive and Deleted objects.
Input parameters:
String pid The PID of the object.
String relationship The predicate.
String object The object.
boolean isLiteral A boolean value indicating whether the object is a literal.
String datatype The datatype of the literal. Optional.
Returns:
boolean True if and only if the relationship was added.
Throws:
java.rmi.RemoteException
getRelationships
Get the relationships asserted in the object's RELS-EXT Datastream that match the given criteria.
Input parameters:
String pid The PID of the object.
String relationship The predicate to match. A null value matches all predicates.
Returns:
RelationshipTuple[]
String subject - The subject of the relation. Either a Fedora PID or a literal value.
String predicate - The predicate relating the subject and the object. Includes the namespace of the relation.
String object - The PID of the object of the relation
boolean isLiteral - If true, the subject should be read as a literal value, not a PID
String datatype - If the subject is a literal, the datatype to parse the value as. Optional.
Throws:
java.rmi.RemoteException
purgeRelationship
Delete the specified relationship. This method will remove the specified relationship(s) from the RELS-EXT datastream. If the Resource Index is enabled, this will also delete the corresponding triples from the Resource Index.
If the object has state "Active" this method will fail. It is only allowed on Inactive and Deleted objects.
Input parameters:
String pid The PID of the object.
String relationship The predicate, null matches any predicate.
String object The object, null matches any object.
boolean isLiteral A boolean value indicating whether the object is a literal.
String datatype The datatype of the literal. Optional.
Returns:
boolean True if and only if the relationship was purged.
Throws:
java.rmi.RemoteException
Object Management
ingest
Creates a new digital object in the repository. The object's initial state should be I (inactive). If the XML document does not specify the OBJID attribute of the root element, the repository will generate and return a new pid for the object resulting from this request. That pid will have the namespace of the repository. If the XML document specifies a pid, it will be assigned to the digital object provided that 1. it conforms to the Fedora pid Syntax, 2. it uses a namespace that matches the "retainPIDs" value configured for the repository, and 3. it does not collide with an existing pid of an object in the repository.
If the object has state "Active" this method will fail. It is only allowed on Inactive and Deleted objects.
Input parameters:
byte[] objectXML The digital object in an XML submission format.
String format The XML format of objectXML, e.g. "info:fedora/fedora-system:FOXML-1.1", "info:fedora/fedora-system:FOXML-1.0", "info:fedora/fedora-system:METSFedoraExt-1.1", or "info:fedora/fedora-system:ATOM-1.0".
String logMessage A log message.
Returns:
String The pid of the newly created object.
Throws:
java.rmi.RemoteException
modifyObject
Modify an object.
If this alters an object that was hitherto "Inactive" or "Deleted" to have state "Active", validation will be performed on the object to check the object to be valid, and the call will fail otherwise. See FedoraState for details.
Input parameters:
String pid The PID of the object.
String state The new state, "A", "I" or "D". See FedoraState for usage.
String ownerId The ownerId for the object.
String logMessage A log message.
Returns:
String The timestamp of the operation according to the server, in ISO8601 format.
Throws:
java.rmi.RemoteException
