Errors are due to ruby 2.1.0 being out of date on travis. |

This question shouldn't affect whether or not this PR gets merged, but I wonder whether we ought to bring has_metadata and has_attributes in alignment with one another for consistency's sake. Tossing it out there for discussion.

I'm not sure how you see them as being out of alignment. Maybe you should submit a PR.

Just putting this here for later reference...I'd love to see something that (optionally) brings has_metadata and has_attributes together as in
has_metadata `descMetadata`, type: MyMetadata, attributes: [:title, ...]

@mbklein that looks good except for the case where "title" is single-valued and "author" is multiple.

The alignment criticism was a bit confused, agreed. Pondering this a bit further, I think my question boils down to this: in a more RDF-y, less datastream-y Fedora 4 world, is it still meaningful (or how is it still meaningful) to indicate "whereness" of metadata assertions?
In the following two statements:
has_metadata 'descMetadata', type: MyMetadata
has_attributes :title, datastream: 'descMetadata'what will the role of the string descMetadata be?
This is definitely beyond the scope of this PR, FWIW, and perhaps worthy of a discussion at Hydra Connect.
This will enable simpler Blacklight configurations and will eventually support looking up fields from solr instead of calling to fedora.

Merging (with caution, because I do what Github tells me to do). |
