From dor-services at Stanford: You can see many examples of models used for our digital object workflow at https://github.com/sul-dlss/dor-services/tree/master/lib/dor/models. ActiveFedora models include Item, Set, and Collection, and other model behaviors are mixed in via Describable, Embargoable, etc.

• Admin Policy Object (APO): model fixture
• Item: model fixture
• Set: model
• Collection: model
• Workflow object: model

From Hydrus at Stanford: You can see model definitions at https://github.com/sul-dlss/hydrus/tree/master/app/models/hydrus. Notice that many of these are extensions of the models declared in dor-services, e.g., the APO model extends the dor-services APO model.
