Enhanced content models will be are being added to Fedora from release 3.4.

These documents are work in progress.

Here is the presentation I gave at the OR10 conference. It is currently the most up2date stuff on ECM ECMOR10 -halfpages.pdf

   2. Ability to specify ontologies for the datastream relations
2. Datastreams

Validator

TODO

A validate method that will validate a data object against the constrains specified in it's content models.
This is in fact covered by the JIRA issue http://fedora-commons.org/jira/browse/FCREPO-685

Object Cloning and templates

A api method to clone an object. At the moment, the only way to add new objects to Fedora is to ingest the FOXML. This method will provide a way to create new objects "in place". This issue is described by http://fedora-commons.org/jira/browse/FCREPO-684^{Image Removed}

It was designed as part of Enhanced Content Models, but will be implemented as a separate issue.
