the collection metadata
- a metadata element describing the overall collection. It is always available at ID mbase://<coll>/_collection_metadata_
- no guarantees are made to the contents of this metadata element
- the current SLuMB implementation generates an almost trivial metadata (useful to get a title)
- authors are encouraged to detail the default-generated metadata that is now part of newly created content-collections. In particular wrt the license.
the about book
- an omgroup element usable as a recorded-book in any ActiveMath with the intent to provide author-oriented information. It is always available at ID mbase://<coll>/_collection_info_
- no guarantees are made to the contents of this book except that it will be non-empty and will have at least one content item in English
- the current jEditOQMath build implementation provides in this book:
- information about the collection (optionally using the collection metadata documenting the collection)
- list of static resource files
- list of OMDoc files and their content as pages ("the auto-recbook")
- list of symbols and notations
the book-list
- an omgroup element intended to provide ActiveMath access to the content-collections' prerecorded-books, accesible at the ID mbase://<coll>/_book_list_. It contains a list of ref elements
each with an id and a non-empty xref attribute pointing to the book.
- the current implementation in SLuMB uses the ContentDescriptor's list of properties of the form RecBooks.xxx.ID but allows collections to have their hand-crafted book-list element
the course-generator-list
- an omgroup element intedend to provide ActiveMath access to the content-collections' "groupings", accesible at the ID mbase://<coll>/_coursegen_list_. It contains a list of ref elements
with anid and an xref to each grouping
- the current implementation in SLuMB uses the ContentDescriptor's list of groupings (the properties of the form Groupings.xxx.ID) but allows collections to have their hand-crafted book-list element
the dependencies-check-list
- a optional content item pointing to all the elements required by this content collection
- This content item is an omtext element with ID mbase://<coll>/_dependencies_check_list_, it does not carry any useful metadata.
- Typically, it should be presented to an author that has just installed a collection allow him to proof the links referenced there.
- No format specification is provided for this list which can use, in order to indicate dependency to other content collections, the hyperlinks in the form <textref xref="mbase://<other-coll>/_collection_info_">other-coll</textref>.
