==DESCRIPTION==
 +
This class describes a single item in the history dataset. A history object describes a single action taken on a single item in another dataset.
 +
 
 +
This class inherits from [[API:EPrints/DataObj/SubObject|EPrints::DataObj::SubObject]], which in  turn inherits from [[API:EPrints/DataObj|EPrints::DataObj]].
 +
 
 +
Changes to document are considered part of changes to the eprint it belongs to.

NAME

EPrints::DataObj::History - An element in the history of the archive.

User Comments


DESCRIPTION

This class describes a single item in the history dataset. A history object describes a single action taken on a single item in another dataset.

This class inherits from EPrints::DataObj::SubObject, which in turn inherits from EPrints::DataObj.

Changes to document are considered part of changes to the eprint it belongs to.
