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.

Create a new history data object from this $data. Unlike other create methods this one does not return the new object as it is never needed, and would increase the load when modifying other data objects.

Also, this does not queue the fields for indexing.
