| ActiveRecord::Content: | a Resource that belongs to a Container, e.g. a Post |
| ActiveRecord::Container: | a model that have many Contents, e.g. a Space |
| ActiveRecord::Agent: | a model with authentication, authorization and potencial to perform actions over Resources, e.g. a User |
| ActiveRecord::Stage: | a model that defines an RBAC Authorization framework for Agents, e.g. a Group |
Complements
| ActiveRecord::CategoriesDomain: | a model which instances define Ontology domains |
| ActiveRecord::Categorizable: | a model that can be classified in any Category |
| ActiveRecord::Taggable: | a model that can be tagged |
| ActiveRecord::Logoable: | a model with Logo |
| ActiveRecord::Sortable: | a model with a sortable list |
Generators
Agents
An Agent has the capability to post Contents to Containers. An User is the example of Agent
script/generate station_agent Model
