Jacob, Fedora content models are, out of the box, descriptive of structure, not prescriptive. They provide you with data hooks to perform your own (external) organization and validation of your objects and their structure. So as it ships, there is no Fedora validation of the kind you seek.
That said, there is a third-party add-on for Fedora that I think provides what you're looking for: the Enhanced Content Models. https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/FCREPO/Enhanced+Content+Models It's been some time since they have been updated, so I'm not sure that they work with later (3.6.x, 3.7.x) versions of Fedora -- YMMV. -- Scott On 12/04/2013 12:50 PM, Jacob Sanford wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > I am looking for a way for an object in Fedora to fail the api-m > validate() call if specific datastreams are not attached to an object > (and ideally of a minimum size). > > So far, in the ds-composite-model I have discovered a way to ensure that > the MIMEtype is explicitly set (through the <form> element), but if the > datastream is missing, it appears to ignore the requirements and pass > the object (even by setting required="true" explicitly). > > Am I incorrect in assuming this is possible?
