Resource Types and Entities

Introduction
Resource types and entities are Drupal Entities that are created, and managed, by the OSF Entities connector module. They are used to expose dataset contents indexed in a OSF Web Services instance into Drupal. The resource types and entities are available to other Drupal modules via the Entity API.

The OSF Entities module is called a "connector" module because it connects the OSF Web Services endpoints to the internal Drupal Entity API.

This page explains how the OSF Entities module can be used to search and browse for records in a OSF instance and how they can be created, updated, deleted and revisionned from Drupal.

This page is organized in three major sections:
 * How to configure the OSF Entities module
 * How to configure the Bundles and Fields to use in Drupal
 * How to manage resources using OSF Entities
