Get Collection MetaData
This call returns collection level metadata. This metadata is of following kinds:
-behavior
-structure
-filesec
-genre
-relation
- Behavior: This is highly speculative: The intention is to be able to provide interface widgets some form of information about the available behaviors (things the ingested collection can do for example -whether collection has been ingested to support Named entities)
- Structure: Lists all the chunks at the level of work that make this Collection. These are nested divs with a
type and a title attribute. - filesec: This section would list the different versions of the file and the file groups that make up the collection. It may not be an actual file system file but could be for example a database id or xpath to retrieve a document from the XML Database.
- Relation: Returns the list of collections that have a relationship sub, super and associated.
- Genre (Dublin Core tags) : This information comes from the http://dublincore.org/groups/collections/collection-application-profile/#coldctype1
