Class: DataONEObject

DataONEObject()

A DataONEObject represents a DataONE object, such as a data file, a science metadata object, or a resource map. It stores the system metadata attributes for the object, performs updates to the system metadata, and other basic DataONE API functions. This model can be extended to provide specific functionality for different object types, such as the ScienceMetadata model and the EML211 model.

isData() → {boolean}

Checks the formatId of this model and determines if it is a data file. This determination is mostly used for display and the provenance editor.

nodeNameMap()

Maps the lower-case sys meta node names (valid in HTML DOM) to the camel-cased sys meta node names (valid in DataONE). Used during parse() and serialize()
Source:

onSuccessfulSave(modelopt, responseopt, xhropt)

This function is executed when the XHR that saves this DataONEObject has successfully completed. It can be called directly if a DataONEObject is saved without directly using the DataONEObject.save() function.
Parameters:
Name Type Attributes Description
model DataONEObject <optional>
 A reference to this DataONEObject model
response XMLHttpRequest.response <optional>
 The XHR response object
xhr XMLHttpRequest <optional>
 The XHR that was just completed successfully
Source:

parse(response)

This function is called by Backbone.Model.fetch. It deserializes the incoming XML from the /meta REST endpoint and converts it into JSON.
Parameters:
Name Type Description
response
Source:

removeWhiteSpaceFromSolrFields(json)

Removes white space from string values returned by Solr when the white space causes issues. For now this only effects the `resourceMap` field, which will index new line characters and spaces when the RDF XML has those in the `identifier` XML element content. This was causing bugs where DataONEObject models were created with `id`s with new line and white space characters (e.g. `\n urn:uuid:1234...`)
Parameters:
Name Type Description
json object The Solr document as a JS Object, which will be directly altered
Source:

resetID()

Resets the identifier for this model. This undos all of the changes made in {DataONEObject#updateID}
Source:

save(attributes, options)

Saves the DataONEObject System Metadata to the server
Parameters:
Name Type Description
attributes
options
Source:

serializeSysMeta() → {string}

Using the attributes set on this DataONEObject model, serializes the system metadata XML
Source:
Returns:
Type
string

setMissingFileName()

Creates a file name for this DataONEObject and updates the `fileName` attribute
Source:

setPossibleAuthMNs()

Creates an array of objects that represent Member Nodes that could possibly be this object's authoritative MN. This function updates the `possibleAuthMNs` attribute on this model.
Source:

setProvClass(className)

Set the DataONE ProvONE provenance class param className - the shortened form of the actual classname value. The shortname will be appened to the ProvONE namespace, for example, the className "program" will result in the final class name "http://purl.dataone.org/provone/2015/01/15/ontology#Program" see https://github.com/DataONEorg/sem-prov-ontologies/blob/master/provenance/ProvONE/v1/provone.html
Parameters:
Name Type Description
className string
Source:

toJson(xml)

A utility function for converting XML to JSON
Parameters:
Name Type Description
xml
Source:

Serialize the DataONE object JSON to XML
Parameters:
Name Type Description
json object the JSON object to convert to XML
containerNode Element an HTML element to insertt the resulting XML into
Source:
Returns:
The updated HTML Element
Type
Element

updateID(id)

Update identifiers for this object
Parameters:
Name Type Description
id string Optional identifier to update with. Generated automatically when not given. Note that this method caches the objects attributes prior to updating so this.resetID() can be called in case of a failure state. Also note that this method won't run if theh oldPid attribute is set. This enables knowing before this.save is called what the next PID will be such as the case where we want to update a matching EML entity when replacing files.

updateProgress(e)

Updates the progress percentage when the model is getting uploaded
Parameters:
Name Type Description
e ProgressEvent The ProgressEvent when this file is being uploaded
Source:

updateRelationships()

Source:
Returns:
Type
string
