Class InterfaceDef

  edu.indiana.dlib.metsnav.mets.v1_5.ObjectType
      edu.indiana.dlib.metsnav.mets.v1_5.InterfaceDef

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable

public class InterfaceDef
extends ObjectType
implements Serializable

interfaceDef: interface definition object. The interface definition element contains a pointer an abstract definition of a set of related behaviors. These abstract behaviors can be associated with the content of a METS object. The interface definition element will be a pointer to another object (an interface definition object). An interface definition object could be another METS object, or some other entity (e.g., a WSDL file). Ideally, an interface definition object should contain metadata that describes a set of behaviors or methods. It may also contain files that describe the intended usage of the behaviors, and possibly files that represent different expressions of the interface definition. The interfaceDef element is optional to allow for cases where an interface definition can be obtained from a behavior mechanism object (see the mechanism element of the behaviorSec).
