The resources which are immediate children of a given container. Properties are not counted as children.

Compact Node Definition (CND)

A file format defined by JCR here that allows for the definition of new resource types and namespaces. It is highly recommended that users do not modify Fedora 4's CND file, as such modifications may limit the ability for subsequent Fedora version upgrades of the repository installation.

Container (formerly known as: Object)

A container is a resource that represents intellectual entities and can also be used to aggregate other resources in a Fedora repository. Containers may container contain other containers or binaries and their nonRdfSourceDescriptions.

...

Within the Fedora 4 model a Datastream comprises a binary and a NonRdfSourceDescription. Treat both together as a datastream, and ; they only ever occur in a pair.

Dissemination

An approach previously available in Fedora 3 that allowed for binding a service from outside the repository to a content model or type for content. Note: disseminators, as such , do not exist in Fedora 4 itself, but the API-X effort will provide similar functionality by extending the core with specifications and optional machinery.

Federation (aka Projection)

...

Creating, modifying or deleting resources in the repository generates events. The indexer monitors and processes these events; by ingesting relevant RDF to an external triplestore, for example.

jcr/xml

An XML document, the schema of which is defined by the JCR specification, which has a format that represents JCR resources. It can be used to export/import a set of resources and properties into a repository.

Linked Data Platform (LDP)

...

Containers are defined by one or more rdf:types that describe the nature of the container. Similarly, every property will be an instance of a single rdf:type. The official definition can be found here.

Repository

A repository is a single, self-contained persistent store of information plus the software that is used to access and update that information. Fedora is a repository.

Resource

Resources are the primary organizational structure in the repository. A resource is any web-addressable entity, such as a container, a nonRdfSourceDescription, or a binary. Every resource has a name and a unique identifier, and can also be identified by a path. They are comprised of zero or more properties / child resources.
