Collaboration diagram for BinaryRelation< A extends DataObject, B extends DataObject >:

Detailed Description

Default implementation of an IBinaryRelation to be used with hibernate. Note that this class is marked abstract, as sub classes should define the generic parameters <A> and <B>.

Author:: sschwieb

Parameters:

<A>	the type of the first annotation
<B>	the type of the second annotation

Method Details

long getId ( ) [inherited]

Returns the Id of this DataObject. Might return 0, if the object hasn't been inserted into database yet.

Returns:: id

Implements DataObject.

String getLabel ( ) [inherited]

Returns the label of this token, which can be any kind of string (except null), mainly used for display-reasons only. Note: Components MUST NOT assume that any kind of label (like 'word' or else) is returned by this method.

Implements ILabeledElement.

Reimplemented in TEIDramaSpeaker, TEIDramaSpeechAct, TEIDramaStage, JodaDateTime, JodaInterval, JodaPeriod, and Timex.

List<Annotation<? extends DataObject> > getLinkedAnnotations ( )

Returns the list of linked annotations. Never returns null. Depending on the concrete sub-interface, however, the number of elements in the returned collection can vary.

Implements ILinkedAnnotations.

Annotation<? extends A> getReferee ( )

Returns the first argument, or reference, of the relation. Seeing aRb as an representation of the relation, a is returned.
