Column

1 Object Title 

If a title (either http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#label or http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/title) is available, it is displayed here.  If no title has been assigned, the resource URI is displayed in this location.

2 Object Path 

Fedora 4 is different from Fedora 3 in that there is an innate tree hierarchy to the repository rather than a flat structure.  The path (list of ancestors) for the viewed resource is presented below the object title.  Performance is expected to be better with a deeper hierarchy with fewer items per level as opposed to a shallower where each level has a larger number of siblings.  The automatic ID (and path) generated is meant to optimize performance but you may use your own organizational strategy when creating resources.

In this particular example, the container was created with a fully qualified name including a namespace and local name (separated by a colon).  Fedora 4 does not require (nor recommend) that identifiers have namespaces.

3 Featured Properties

Very basic metadata such as the UUID and modification/creation times and users are presented below the resource path.

4 Children

Any children that the container has will be listed and linked here.  Like the parent containter, if these children have recognized title metadata, that title will be presented here rather than their URI.

5 All Resource Properties 

All properties of the resource are presented here.  Hover your mouse over the namespace prefix to see the full namespace.

6 Other Resources 

A subset of properties from the parent resource. Click on the grayed box to expand the list of properties or the label text to view that resource directly.
