Constructor Detail

DefaultLineage

public DefaultLineage()

Constructs an initially empty lineage.

DefaultLineage

public DefaultLineage(Lineage source)

Constructs a metadata entity initialized with the values from the specified metadata.

Parameters:

source - The metadata to copy, or null if none.

Since:

2.4

Method Detail

castOrCopy

public static DefaultLineage castOrCopy(Lineage object)

Returns a Geotk metadata implementation with the same values than the given arbitrary implementation. If the given object is null, then this method returns null. Otherwise if the given object is already a Geotk implementation, then the given object is returned unchanged. Otherwise a new Geotk implementation is created and initialized to the attribute values of the given object, using a shallow copy operation (i.e. attributes are not cloned).

Parameters:

object - The object to get as a Geotk implementation, or null if none.

Returns:

A Geotk implementation containing the values of the given object (may be the given object itself), or null if the argument was null.

Since:

3.18

getStatement

public InternationalString getStatement()

Returns the general explanation of the data producer's knowledge about the lineage of a dataset. Should be provided only if scope level is dataset or series.

Specified by:

getStatement in interface Lineage

setStatement

public void setStatement(InternationalString newValue)

Sets the general explanation of the data producer’s knowledge about the lineage of a dataset.

Parameters:

newValue - The new statement.

getProcessSteps

public Collection<ProcessStep> getProcessSteps()

Returns the information about an event in the creation process for the data specified by the scope.

Specified by:

getProcessSteps in interface Lineage

setProcessSteps

public void setProcessSteps(Collection<? extends ProcessStep> newValues)

Sets information about an event in the creation process for the data specified by the scope.

Parameters:

newValues - The new process steps.

getSources

public Collection<Source> getSources()

Returns information about the source data used in creating the data specified by the scope.

Specified by:

getSources in interface Lineage

setSources

public void setSources(Collection<? extends Source> newValues)

Sets information about the source data used in creating the data specified by the scope.

Parameters:

newValues - The new sources.
