Overview

The ContentMetadata and DescMetadata robot are allowed to build the datastream by reading a file from the /dor/workspace that matches the datastream name. This allows assembly or pre-assembly to prebuild the datastreams from templates or using other means (like the assembly-objectfile gem) and then have those datastreams picked up and added to the object during accessionWF.

This class builds that datastream using the content of a file if such a file exists and is newer than the object’s current datastream (see above); otherwise, builds the datastream by calling build_fooMetadata_datastream.

#initialize(object:, datastream:, force: false, required: false) ⇒ ActiveFedora::Datastream

Parameters:

  • object (ActiveFedora::Base) —

    The object that contains the datastream

  • datastream (ActiveFedora::Datastream) —

    The datastream object

  • force (Boolean) (defaults to: false) —

    Should we overwrite existing datastream?

  • required (Boolean) (defaults to: false) —

    If set to true, raise an error if we can’t build the datastream
