DefaultKeywordClass
- All Implemented Interfaces:
- Serializable,- Emptiable,- LenientComparable,- IdentifiedObject
Specification of a class to categorize keywords in a domain-specific vocabulary
 that has a binding to a formal ontology.
 The following properties are mandatory in a well-formed metadata according ISO 19115:
 
 
MD_KeywordClass
   ├─className……………………… Character string to label the keyword category in natural language.
   └─ontology………………………… Reference that binds the keyword class to a formal conceptualization of a knowledge domain.
       ├─title……………………… Name by which the cited resource is known.
       └─date………………………… Reference date for the cited resource.Note on International Standard versions
This class is derived from a new type defined in the ISO 19115 international standard published in 2014, while GeoAPI 3.0 is based on the version published in 2003. Consequently this implementation class does not yet implement a GeoAPI interface, but is expected to do so after the next GeoAPI releases. When the interface will become available, all references to this implementation class in Apache SIS will be replaced be references to the
 This class is derived from a new type defined in the ISO 19115 international standard published in 2014, while GeoAPI 3.0 is based on the version published in 2003. Consequently this implementation class does not yet implement a GeoAPI interface, but is expected to do so after the next GeoAPI releases. When the interface will become available, all references to this implementation class in Apache SIS will be replaced be references to the
KeywordClass interface.
 Limitations
- Instances of this class are not synchronized for multi-threading. Synchronization, if needed, is caller's responsibility.
- Serialized objects of this class are not guaranteed to be compatible with future Apache SIS releases.
       Serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the
       same version of Apache SIS. For long term storage, use XMLinstead.

Constructor Details- 
DefaultKeywordClasspublic DefaultKeywordClass()Constructs an initially empty keyword class.
- 
DefaultKeywordClassCreates keyword class initialized to the given key name and ontology.- Parameters:
- className- a character string to label the keyword category in natural language.
- ontology- reference that binds the keyword class to a formal conceptualization of a knowledge domain.
 
- 
DefaultKeywordClassConstructs a new instance initialized with the values from the specified metadata object. This is a shallow copy constructor, because the other metadata contained in the given object are not recursively copied.- Parameters:
- object- the metadata to copy values from, or- nullif none.
