resolveAssociations1

public static void resolveAssociations1(TopicMapIF topicmap)

INTERNAL: Replaces all class-instance associations in a topic map by direct references from the topics in question to their types. Only associations that use the PSIs defined in XTM 1.0, that match the templates exactly, that are not reified, and that are not scoped are replaced.

1.2.3

resolveAssociations2

public static void resolveAssociations2(TopicMapIF topicmap)

INTERNAL: Replaces all class-instance associations using the XTM 2.0 PSIs in a topic map by direct references from the topics in question to their types. Only associations that use the PSIs defined in XTM 2.0, that match the templates exactly, that are not reified, and that are not scoped are replaced.

isInstanceOf

public static boolean isInstanceOf(TypedIF typed,
 TopicIF type)

INTERNAL: Returns true if the TypedIF object is an instance the given type.

isInstanceOf

public static boolean isInstanceOf(TopicIF topic,
 TopicIF type)

INTERNAL: Returns true if the TopicIF object is an instance the given type.

getInstancesOf

 TopicIF type)

INTERNAL: Returns the typed objects that are instances of the given type.

getTypes

public static Collection getTypes(Collection typed)

INTERNAL: Returns the topics that are the type/class topic of the typed objects.
