Fedora 3.0 API
DOMS metadata objects will be stored in Fedora-commons 3.0.

API restrictions
[:/Managment#PurgeDatastream: apiM.PurgeDatastream] and[:/Managment#PurgeObject: apiM.PurgeObject] are not allowed. Instead use [:Fedora_3.0_API/Managment#modifyDatastream: apiM.modifyDatastream] and [:Fedora_3.0_API/Managment#modifyObject: apiM.modifyObject] to change the state to "D" (deleted).
- [:/Managment#setDatastreamVersionable: apiM.setDatastreamVersionable] is disallowed. The internal datastreams are always versioned.
- Do not use getNextPID, instead use the method provided from DOMS
Objects that are marked as "published" (see FedoraTransactionsReplacement) cannot be changed. Any API calls that attempt to change them will fail.
TODO!!!
The Fedora API is described in the the pages below.
- [:/Access: The public Access API] - Everybody can use this, this is the primary way for external applications to query the repository.
- [:/Managment: The protected Managment API] - Only authenticated administrators, such as users of the GUI, can use this.
- [:Fedora_3.0_triple_store_API: The Resource Index API] - The interface to the Fedora triple store.
