PropertyValue (obographs-core 0.3.0 API)

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<PropertyValue>

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractBasicPropertyValue, AbstractDefinitionPropertyValue, AbstractSynonymPropertyValue, AbstractXrefPropertyValue, BasicPropertyValue, DefinitionPropertyValue, SynonymPropertyValue, XrefPropertyValue
```
public interface PropertyValue
extends Comparable<PropertyValue>
```
Associates the container object with a value via a property. For example, a node representing an OWL class may contain a Meta object containing a PropertyValue mapping to a textual definition string via a definition property. Broadly, there are two categories of implementing class: 1. PropertyValues corresponding to a specific explicitly modeled property type (e.g synonym) 2. generic BasicPropertyValues - anything property not explicitly modeled A PropertyValue is minimally a tuple `(pred,value)`. However, each sub tuple may also be "annotated" with additional metadata (this corresponds to an Axiom Annotation in OWL) - Any tuple can be supported by an array of xrefs. - Some implementing classes may choose to model additional explicit annotations (e.g. SynonymPropertyValue)

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods Default Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`default int`	`compareTo(PropertyValue o)`
`Meta`	`getMeta()`
`default String`	`getPred()`	Predicates correspond to OWL properties.
`default String`	`getVal()`	The value of the property-value
`List<String>`	`getXrefs()`	An array denoting objects that support the property value assertion

- Method Detail
  - getPred
```
@Default
default String getPred()
```
    Predicates correspond to OWL properties. Like all preds in this datamodel, a pred is represented as a String which denotes a CURIE
    
    Returns:
    
    the pred
  - getVal
```
@Default
default String getVal()
```
    The value of the property-value
    
    Returns:
    
    the val
  - getXrefs
```
List<String> getXrefs()
```
    An array denoting objects that support the property value assertion
    
    Returns:
    
    the xrefs
  - getMeta
```
@Nullable
Meta getMeta()
```
  - compareTo
```
default int compareTo(PropertyValue o)
```
    Specified by:
    
    compareTo in interface Comparable<PropertyValue>
