Interface TypeNode<T extends ElkObject,I extends ElkObject>

Type Parameters:

T - the type of objects in this node

I - the type of instances of this node

All Superinterfaces:

Node<T>, TaxonomyNode<T>

All Known Subinterfaces:

UpdateableTypeNode<T,I>

All Known Implementing Classes:

FreshTypeNode, OrphanTypeNode

public interface TypeNode<T extends ElkObject,I extends ElkObject>
extends TaxonomyNode<T>

A node in a taxonomy that has instances. This mainly makes sense for classes and individuals, and for properties and pairs of individuals.

Method Detail

getDirectInstanceNodes

Set<? extends InstanceNode<T,I>> getDirectInstanceNodes()

Get an unmodifiable set of InstanceNodes that are direct instances of this TypeNode. An InstanceNode is a direct instance of a TypeNode if it is an instance of the TypeNode and not an instance of any sub-node of a TypeNode.

Returns:

nodes for direct instances of this node's members

getAllInstanceNodes

Set<? extends InstanceNode<T,I>> getAllInstanceNodes()

Get an unmodifiable set of InstanceNodes that are (possibly indirect) instances of this TypeNode.

Returns:

nodes for all instances of this node's members

getDirectSuperNodes

Set<? extends TypeNode<T,I>> getDirectSuperNodes()

Description copied from interface: TaxonomyNode

Get an unmodifiable set of nodes for ElkObjects that are direct super-objects of this Node.

Specified by:

getDirectSuperNodes in interface TaxonomyNode<T extends ElkObject>

Returns:

list of nodes for direct super-objects of this node's members

getAllSuperNodes

Set<? extends TypeNode<T,I>> getAllSuperNodes()

Description copied from interface: TaxonomyNode

Computes an unmodifiable set of nodes for ElkObjects that are (possibly indirect) super-objects of members of this Node. This is the smallest set of nodes that contains all direct super-nodes of this node, and all direct super-nodes of every node in this set.

Specified by:

getAllSuperNodes in interface TaxonomyNode<T extends ElkObject>

Returns:

set of nodes for sub-objects of this node's members

getDirectSubNodes

Set<? extends TypeNode<T,I>> getDirectSubNodes()

Description copied from interface: TaxonomyNode

Get an unmodifiable set of nodes for ElkObjects that are direct sub-objects of this Node.

Specified by:

getDirectSubNodes in interface TaxonomyNode<T extends ElkObject>

Returns:

list of nodes for direct sub-objects of this node's members

getAllSubNodes

Set<? extends TypeNode<T,I>> getAllSubNodes()

Description copied from interface: TaxonomyNode

Computes an unmodifiable set of nodes for ElkObjects that are (possibly indirect) sub-objects of members of this Node. This is the smallest set of nodes that contains all direct sub-nodes of this node, and all direct sub-nodes of every node in this set.

Specified by:

getAllSubNodes in interface TaxonomyNode<T extends ElkObject>

Returns:

set of nodes for sub-objects of this node's members
