Interface MetaData

All Known Implementing Classes:

LocalMetaData

public interface MetaData

The representation of an IMS meta-data record. It is intended to be exportable over CORBA. All data fields must obey the following contract:

• Arrays must not contain null elements
• Arrays must not be of size zero (they must instead be null).
• LangString.string must not be null (LangString must instead be null itself).
• LangStringType.langstring must not be null (LangStringType must instead be null itself).
• Location.string must not be null (Location must instead be null itself).

Strings may be null or empty, but an empty string is regarded as an actual string value, and thus may, for example, contradict a restricted vocabulary. In general, any value (with the above restrictions) is allowed to be null, and is thus interpreted as not set. Thus, for example, a Relation object may consist of all null elements. However, it is expected that editing implement does restrict the user input to reasonable values. Please note that implementations in general do not enforce this contract, including the checking of restricted vocabularies, so it is up to the calling objects to follow the contract. Otherwise, the result is undefined. Each set_* function fires an EditEvent with a string such as "general_title" describing the edited element.
