Processing Discussions

Creates NDR objects...

• Resource
  • upload the content
  • add the fedora url to the content as the ResourceURL property

Should a metadata object also be created to describe the content?

Should a relationship to a collection be established to contain the resource and metadata?

Per John, these will be a separate call to addMetadataRecord which establishes both the metadataRecord and the Collection it lives in.
