Hi Mark,

It certainly is possible to use a file:// reference in FOXML. I've been using it for some time to load managed content using the REST API. What platform and version of Fedora are you using?

Here's a chunk of a FOXML file that works for me:
<!-- The Rights Metadata datastream for this object -->
  <foxml:datastream ID="rightsMetadata" CONTROL_GROUP="M" STATE="A" VERSIONABLE="true">
    <foxml:datastreamVersion ID="rightsMetadata1.0"
        LABEL="Rights metadata for this object" MIMETYPE="text/xml; charset=UTF-8">
      <foxml:contentLocation TYPE="URL" REF="file:///data/fedoracommons/nrm/ingest/Set4/datastreams/Natural_Heritage01-rightsMetadata.xml" />
    </foxml:datastreamVersion>
  </foxml:datastream>

Hi,

I have a question and a comment about importing objects using FOXML. 

Question: Is there any way to reference Managed datastreams from a local filesystem as opposed to content siting on a web server somewhere? I've tried using <foxml:contentLocation REF="file:///path/to/file.jpg" TYPE="URL"/> with no luck (the URL is good since "curl -O file:///path/to/file.jpg" works). The FOXML 1.1 schema doesn't enumerate contentLocation TYPE values so I don't know what else to try. I am using the REST API to import my FOXML and can import successfully if I reference a datastream using an http:// URL.

Comment: The reference example FOXML file at https://wiki.duraspace.org/download/attachments/4718716/foxml_reference_example.xml?version=1&modificationDate=1217847185364 contains the following comment describing the foxml:property element:

"At ingest, the object MUST have these attributes:
        - type:(required) The object is classified as one of three primitive Fedora object types, 
          namely FedoraObject, FedoraBDefObject, FedoraBMechObject,
          or FedoraCModelObject.
        - state:(required) The object state can be Active (A), Inactive (I), or Deleted (D)"

However, the FOXML 1.1 schema doesn't list 'type' as a valid member of the foxml:property NAME attribute enumeration. So the comment is not consistent with the schema.

Sure enough, when I try to import an object using FOXML and include the following:

<foxml:property NAME="info:fedora/fedora-system:def/model#type" VALUE="FedoraObject"/>

I get an error ("The message was "URI=null Line=9: cvc-enumeration-valid: Value 'info:fedora/fedora-system:def/model#type' is not facet-valid with respect to enumeration [...]").
