[Tm4j-developers] Inter Map Reification

[Harald K. <har...@we...>]

Hi Kal,

as the topic of how to handle reification of TopicMapObjects was mentioned on the mailinglist recently and i also had problems with this some time ago in one of my projects, i wrote two Extractors for Finding Reified Objects and Reifying Topics (RefiedObjectExtractor and ReifyingTopicExtractor). I also wrote an experimental index for the in Memory Backend which caches these information for a faster access. I am not quite sure which way would be the best. 

The question is wether extractors are the right point to add support for this. As i pointed out, it would also be possible to use and Index. I could also imagine adding methods to TopicMapObject and Topic (this would have by far the biggest impact on the API). What do you think ?

As the Extractors have far less impact on the API, I added them to cvs (...utils.extractors). If anybody is interested in the code of the Index Prototype, just send me an email. 

Cheers,
Harald
