- * Provides an application programming interface (API) for working with
- * fields attached to TripalEntity content types (bundles).
- *
- * Fields:
- * A field is a reusable "data container" that is attached to a Bundle.
- * Programmatically, each field provides one or more primitive data types, with
- * validators and widgets for editing and formatters for display. Each field
- * independently manages the data to which it assigned. Just like with Bundles,
- * Fields are also described using controlled vocabulary terms. For example, a
- * gene Bundle has a field attached that provides the name of the gene.
- * This field only provides the name and nothing more. Tripal uses the
- * schema:name vocabulary term to describe the field.
- *
- * Field Instances:
- * Fields describe "atomic" units of data that are associated with an entity.
- * For example, a "name" is an atomic unit of data about a Gene or Organism
- * entity. Fields can be reused for multiple Bundles. For example, gene, mRNA,
- * genetic markers and variants all have name data. Despite that all of these
- * Bundles provides a "name", we only need one field to describe that this data
- * is a "name". However, we may want to customize a field specific to each
- * bundle. Therefore, an Instance of a field is attached to a bundle, and
- * field instances can then be customized differently. The most important
- * customization is the one that defines the Chado table from which the data
- * for a field is retrieved. Despite that field instances are attached to
- * bundles, they become visible with Entities. When an entity is loaded for
- * display, Drupal examines all of the fields that are attached to the entity's
- * bundle, and then populates the fields instances with data specific to the
- * entity being loaded.
