Welcome to the Hyacinth documentation wiki!

Intro

Your friendly, neighborhood metadata editor.

Items

Records are stored in Hyacinth as Digital Objects. There are 4 types of Digital Objects:

  • Asset
  • Item
  • Group
  • Filesystem

Asset

An Asset is used to store an asset, such as an image file. Note that an Asset cannot be created independently; it needs to be the child of an Item.

Item

An Item is used to describe an item record. An Item can have multiple child Assets. If an Item has multiple child Assets, these child Assets are ordered. The order can be changed by reordering the list of child Assets in the Child Management page.

Group

a Group Digital Object can be used to create a grouping of Item Digital Objects, which are children of the Group.

Filesystem

Projects

A Project represents an administrative entity such as a department, or a project within a department. Each Digital Object must belong to one (and only one)
