Interface ScriptedTask

public interface ScriptedTask

ScriptedTask describes a rather generic ability to perform an operation upon a DSpace object. It's semantics are identical to the CurationTask interface, but is designed to be implemented in scripting languages, rather than Java. For this reason, the 'perform' methods are renamed to accomodate languages (like Ruby) that lack method overloading.
