 # set some metadata:
 $eprint->set_value( "title", "The title of this eprint" );
 
 # un-set some metadata:
 $eprint->set_value( "abstract", undef );
 
 # retrieve some metatada:
 my $title = $eprint->get_value( "title" );
 
 # commit values to the database:

METHODS

User Comments


@documents = $eprint->get_all_documents

Return an array of all EPrint::Document objects associated with this eprint.

nb. This will not return associated documents such as thumbnails.

User Comments


$success = $eprint->move_to_deletion

Transfer the EPrint into the "deletion" dataset. Should only be called for eprints in the "archive" dataset. This is called "retiring" in the Web interface.

nb. This does not delete the eprint.

User Comments


$success = $eprint->move_to_inbox

Transfer the EPrint into the "inbox" dataset. Should only be called for eprints in the "buffer" dataset.

This means moving it back to the user workarea.

User Comments


$success = $eprint->move_to_buffer

Transfer the EPrint into the "buffer" dataset. Should only be called for eprints in the "inbox" or "archive" dataset.

"buffer" is the internal code for the "review area".

User Comments


$success = $eprint->move_to_archive

Move this eprint into the main "archive" dataset. Normally only called for eprints in "deletion" or "buffer" datasets.

This causes the item to appear on the website.

User Comments


$path = $eprint->local_path

Return the full path of the EPrint directory on the local filesystem. No trailing slash.

User Comments


$url = $eprint->url_stem

Return the URL to this EPrint's directory. Note, this INCLUDES the trailing slash, unlike the local_path method.

User Comments


$eprint->generate_static

Generate the static version of the abstract web page. In a multi-language repository this will generate one version per language.

If called on inbox or buffer, remove the abstract page.

User Comments


$user = $eprint->get_user

Return the EPrints::User to whom this eprint belongs (if any).
