Excerpt

From the homepage or any object container page a form exists that lets you create a new object (container ) or datastream (NonRdfSourceDescription) binary that will be the child of the current nodecontainer.

Binaries

You have the option to create an object or a datastreama container or binary.  When you create an object a container by selecting "objectcontainer" for the "Type" field, you may provide an identifier and click "Add" to create a new object. 

Identifier

If you choose to enter an identifier, it may be a fully qualified name containing a namespace prefix (that you've previously defined on the namespaces form) followed by a colon then a local name.  You may also enter a simple name with no namespace specified.simple or namespaced name. If you opt not to enter an identifier a new node resource will be created with an automatically generated name and path.

Info
titleSpecial Characters

When entering an identifier for an object a resource certain characters have specific meanings that you should understand to avoid errors.

  • The colon ":" character is used to separate namespace prefixes from local names.  If a colon is entered in a name it must be preceded by a valid registered namespace prefix.
  • The slash "/" character is used to denote hierarchical path separation.  Multiple objects resources will be created in the event that slashes exist in your specified id.

 

File

When you choose to create a new datastream binary, a file selection form element is presented.  You must select a file that will be the content of the binary. A description of the datastreambinary, termed a nonRdfSourceDescription, will also be created.
