Interface TypeDecider

All Known Implementing Classes:
TypeDeciderImpl
public interface TypeDecider
A type decider manages a set of associations between descriptions of resources and Java classes. In the simplest case, these descriptions are based on the rdf:type property. On the one hand, a type decider yields for a given resource a set of Java classes it can be viewed with. While not mandatory, a common use case is for these classes to be subclasses of Resource that can be used directly as views using resource.as(viewClass). On the other hand, a type decider can enrich a resource with information from which its assocation to one or more Java classes can be inferred.
