A library to help you tame sprawling XML schemas like MODS.
OM allows you to define a "terminology" to ease translation between XML and ruby objects – you can query the xml for Nodes or node values without ever writing a line of XPath.
OM "terms" are ruby symbols you define (in the terminology) that map specific XML content into ruby object attributes.
om is a Core Component of the Samvera community. The documentation for what this means can be found here.
The solrizer gem provides support for indexing XML documents into Solr based on OM Terminologies.
That process is documented in the solrizer README
