Description

Interface Summary

CardinalityConstraintIF	INTERNAL: Represents constraints that may only match a specified number of objects.
ConstraintIF	PUBLIC: Represents a constraint specified in a schema.
SchemaIF	PUBLIC: This interface is implemented by objects that represent complete topic map schemas.
SchemaReaderIF	PUBLIC: Schema readers can read instances of a topic map schema from some implicitly specified source and return object structures representing the schema.
SchemaValidatorIF	PUBLIC: Schema validators can validate topic map objects against a schema.
SchemaWriterIF	PUBLIC: Schema writers can write object structures representing schemas out to an implicitly specified location in some schema language syntax.
TMObjectMatcherIF	INTERNAL: Implementations of this interface can match topic map objects independently of any specific topic map.
ValidationHandlerIF	PUBLIC: Schema validator objects report errors through this interface.

Exception Summary

SchemaSyntaxException	PUBLIC: This exception is thrown when a topic map schema violates the syntax of the schema language it is written in.
SchemaViolationException	PUBLIC: This exception is thrown when topic maps violate their schemas.

Package net.ontopia.topicmaps.schema.core Description

The core interfaces that are common to all schema language implementations. Applications that only use these interfaces will be able to work with any Ontopia schema language implementation. For interfaces and classes specific to the OSL schema language, see the impl.osl package.
