Interface RDFClassInfoSetup

All Known Subinterfaces:

OntClassInfoSetup

All Known Implementing Classes:

RDFClassInfo.PrivateRDFSetup

public interface RDFClassInfoSetup

Setup interface for creating new RDF classes. The creation is separated from the usage; for every RDFClassInfo there is exactly one RDFClassInfoSetup where all the characteristics of this class are defined. To create a new RDFClassInfo, define a subclass of Ontology and overwrite the Ontology.create() method.
