    Initialize a Biber::DataModel object

is_field

    Returns boolean to say if a field is a legal field
    Allows intermediate temp custom fields which are used
    when a driver source field doesn't have an obvious 1:1 mapping
    to a datamodel field. Such intermediates are defined in the target
    field mapping of a sourcemap.
    Also allows for fields with script form and optional lang suffix

is_entrytype

    Returns boolean to say if an entrytype is a legal entrytype

is_field_for_entrytype

    Returns boolean to say if a field is legal for an entrytype

entrytype_is_skipout

    Returns boolean depending on whether an entrytype is to be skipped on output

get_fields_of_fieldtype

    Retrieve fields of a certain biblatex fieldtype from data model
    Return in sorted order so that bbl order doesn't change when changing
    .bcf. This really messes up tests otherwise.

get_fields_of_fieldformat

    Retrieve fields of a certain format from data model
    Return in sorted order so that bbl order doesn't change when changing
    .bcf. This really messes up tests otherwise.

get_fields_of_datatype

    Retrieve fields of a certain biblatex datatype from data model
    Return in sorted order so that bbl order doesn't change when changing
    .bcf. This really messes up tests otherwise.

get_fields_of_type

    Retrieve fields of a certain biblatex type from data model
    Return in sorted order so that bbl order doesn't change when changing
    .bcf. This really messes up tests otherwise.

get_fieldtype

    Returns the fieldtype of a field

get_datatype

    Returns the datatype of a field

get_fieldformat

    Returns the format of a field

get_dm_for_field

    Returns the fieldtype and datatype of a field

field_is_fieldtype

    Returns boolean depending on whether a field is a certain biblatex fieldtype

field_is_datatype

    Returns boolean depending on whether a field is a certain biblatex datatype

field_is_nullok

    Returns boolean depending on whether a field is ok to be null

field_is_skipout

    Returns boolean depending on whether a field is to be skipped on output

check_mandatory_constraints

    Checks constraints of type "mandatory" on entry and
    returns an arry of warnings, if any

check_conditional_constraints

    Checks constraints of type "conditional" on entry and
    returns an arry of warnings, if any

check_data_constraints

    Checks constraints of type "data" on entry and
    returns an array of warnings, if any

dump

    Dump Biber::DataModel object
