javax.xml.registry.infomodel
Interface ClassificationScheme

All Superinterfaces:
ExtensibleObject, RegistryEntry, RegistryObject, Versionable
public interface ClassificationScheme
extends RegistryEntry

A ClassificationScheme instance represents a taxonomy that may be used to classify or categorize RegistryObject instances. A very common example of a classification scheme in science is the Classification of living things where living things are categorized in under a tree like structure. Another example is the Dewey Decimal system used in libraries to categorize books and other publications. A common example in eBusiness is that of North American Industry Classification System (NAICS), which is a classification scheme used to classify businesses and services by the industry to which they belong.

Figure 1 shows how a ClassificationScheme is used by a Classification to classify a RegistryObject.

Field Detail

VALUE_TYPE_UNIQUE

static final int VALUE_TYPE_UNIQUE
Each taxonomy value in ClassificationScheme is unique.

Constant Field Values

VALUE_TYPE_EMBEDDED_PATH

static final int VALUE_TYPE_EMBEDDED_PATH
Each taxonomy value in ClassificationScheme embeds the full path from scheme to that Concept. This also implies that each taxonomy value is unique.

See Also:
Constant Field Values

VALUE_TYPE_NON_UNIQUE

static final int VALUE_TYPE_NON_UNIQUE
Taxonomy values in ClassificationScheme may be repeated within the same scheme. However, two Concepts that have the same parent cannot have the same value.

removeChildConcept

void removeChildConcept(Concept concept)
 throws JAXRException
Removes a child Concept.

Capability Level: 0

Parameters:
concept - the concept being removed as a child Concept of this object
Throws:
JAXRException - If the JAXR provider encounters an internal error

removeChildConcepts

void removeChildConcepts(Collection concepts)
 throws JAXRException
Removes a Collection of children Concepts.
