Interface IAssociativeLinkageSystem

All Superinterfaces:

IInstallable

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultAssociativeLinkageSystem, DefaultAssociativeLinkageSystem4, DefaultAssociativeLinkageSystem6

public interface IAssociativeLinkageSystem
extends IInstallable

entry point for all associative link handling in the system. It is preferred that all handling of associations be taken care of through here. This would include chunk level merging of associative links.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	addLink(IAssociativeLink link) add the link to the appropriate containers within the chunks.
void	chunkWillBeDisposed(IChunk chunk) this chunk will be disposed, clean up its links correctly.
void	copyAndRemapLinks(IChunk source, IChunk destination, boolean copySourceIs, boolean copySourceJs) copy all the specified links from source, replacing all occurences of source with destination, and added to destination.
IAssociativeLink	createLink(IChunk iChunk, IChunk jChunk) create a new associative link spreading activation from j to i
IAssociativeLinkEquation	getAssociativeLinkEquation()

LinkParameterProcessor	getParameterProcessor(IChunk sourceChunk)
void	removeLink(IAssociativeLink link) remove the link from the appropriate contains within the chunk.

Method Detail

createLink

IAssociativeLink createLink(IChunk iChunk,
                            IChunk jChunk)

create a new associative link spreading activation from j to i

Parameters:

iChunk -

jChunk -

Returns:

copyAndRemapLinks

void copyAndRemapLinks(IChunk source,
                       IChunk destination,
                       boolean copySourceIs,
                       boolean copySourceJs)

copy all the specified links from source, replacing all occurences of source with destination, and added to destination.

Parameters:

copySourceIs - copy those links where source is iChunk (i.e., these links spread to the source chunk)

copySourceJs - copy those links where source is jChunk (i.e., these links spread to the source chunk)

source -

destination -

getAssociativeLinkEquation

IAssociativeLinkEquation getAssociativeLinkEquation()

getParameterHandler

@Deprecated
LinkParameterHandler getParameterHandler()

Deprecated. use getParameterProcessor(IChunk) instead

Returns:

getParameterProcessor

LinkParameterProcessor getParameterProcessor(IChunk sourceChunk)

chunkWillBeDisposed

void chunkWillBeDisposed(IChunk chunk)

this chunk will be disposed, clean up its links correctly.

Parameters:

chunk -

addLink

void addLink(IAssociativeLink link)

add the link to the appropriate containers within the chunks. This is the only "right" way to add a link to a chunk.

Parameters:

link -

removeLink

void removeLink(IAssociativeLink link)

remove the link from the appropriate contains within the chunk. This is the only "right" way to remove a link to a chunk.

Parameters:

link -
