public class SynonymRelationship
extends RelationshipBase<Synonym,Taxon,SynonymRelationshipType>

The class representing the assignation of a synonym to an ("accepted/correct") taxon. This includes a synonym relationship type (for instance "heterotypic synonym of"). Within a synonym relationship the synonym plays the source role and the taxon the target role. Between a synonym and an ("accepted/correct") taxon there should exist at most one synonym relationship.
Both, synonym and ("accepted/correct") taxon, must have the same concept reference.

This class corresponds in part to:

• Relationship according to the TDWG ontology
• TaxonRelationship according to the TCS

Constructor Detail

SynonymRelationship

protected SynonymRelationship(Synonym synonym,
                   Taxon taxon,
                   SynonymRelationshipType type,
                   Reference citation,
                   String citationMicroReference)

Class constructor: creates a new synonym relationship instance (with the given synonym, the given "accepted/correct" taxon, the given synonym relationship type and with the reference source on which the relationship assertion is based). Moreover the new synonym relationship will be added to the respective sets of synonym relationships assigned to the synonym and to the "accepted/correct" taxon.

Parameters:

synonym - the synonym instance involved in the new synonym relationship

taxon - the taxon instance involved in the new synonym relationship

type - the synonym relationship type of the new synonym relationship

citation - the reference source for the new synonym relationship

citationMicroReference - the string with the details describing the exact localisation within the reference

RelationshipBase.RelationshipBase(IRelated, IRelated, RelationshipTermBase, Reference, String)

Method Detail

isProParte

public boolean isProParte()

Returns "true" if the ProParte flag is set. This indicates that, within this synonym relationship, the taxon name used as a synonym designated originally a real taxon which later has been split. In this case the synonym is therefore the synonym of at least two different ("accepted/correct") taxa and at least one more synonym relationship with the same synonym should exist.

setProParte

public void setProParte(boolean proParte)

See Also:

isProParte()

isPartial

public boolean isPartial()

Returns "true" if the ProParte flag is set. This indicates that, within this synonym relationship, the taxon name used as a synonym designated originally a real taxon which later has been lumped together with another one. In this case the ("accepted/correct") taxon has therefore at least two different synonyms (for the two lumped real taxa) and at least one more synonym relationship with the same ("accepted/correct") taxon should exist.

setPartial

public void setPartial(boolean partial)

See Also:

isPartial()

getAcceptedTaxon

public Taxon getAcceptedTaxon()

Returns the ("accepted/correct") taxon involved in this synonym relationship. The taxon plays the target role in the relationship.

See Also:

getSynonym(), Synonym.getAcceptedTaxa(), RelationshipBase.getRelatedTo(), RelationshipBase.getType()

setAcceptedTaxon

public void setAcceptedTaxon(Taxon acceptedTaxon)

Sets the given ("accepted/valid") taxon to this synonym relationship. Therefore this synonym relationship will be added to the corresponding set of synonym relationships assigned to the given taxon.

Parameters:

acceptedTaxon - the taxon instance to be set in this synonym relationship

See Also:

getAcceptedTaxon(), Taxon.getSynonymRelations()

getSynonym

public Synonym getSynonym()

Returns the synonym involved in this synonym relationship. The synonym plays the source role in the relationship.

See Also:

getAcceptedTaxon(), Taxon.getSynonyms(), RelationshipBase.getRelatedFrom(), RelationshipBase.getType()

setSynonym

public void setSynonym(Synonym synonym)

Sets the given synonym to this synonym relationship. Therefore this synonym relationship will be added to the corresponding set of synonym relationships assigned to the given synonym. Furthermore if the given synonym replaces an "old" one this synonym relationship will be removed from the set of synonym relationships assigned to the "old" synonym.

Parameters:

synonym - the synonym instance to be set in this synonym relationship

See Also:

getSynonym(), Synonym.getSynonymRelations()

getRelatedFrom

protected Synonym getRelatedFrom()

Specified by:

getRelatedFrom in class RelationshipBase<Synonym,Taxon,SynonymRelationshipType>

getRelatedTo

protected Taxon getRelatedTo()

Specified by:

getRelatedTo in class RelationshipBase<Synonym,Taxon,SynonymRelationshipType>

getType

public SynonymRelationshipType getType()

Specified by:

getType in class RelationshipBase<Synonym,Taxon,SynonymRelationshipType>

setRelatedFrom

protected void setRelatedFrom(Synonym relatedFrom)

Specified by:

setRelatedFrom in class RelationshipBase<Synonym,Taxon,SynonymRelationshipType>

setRelatedTo

protected void setRelatedTo(Taxon relatedTo)

Specified by:

setRelatedTo in class RelationshipBase<Synonym,Taxon,SynonymRelationshipType>

setType

public void setType(SynonymRelationshipType type)

Specified by:

setType in class RelationshipBase<Synonym,Taxon,SynonymRelationshipType>

clone

public Object clone()

Clones this SynonymRelationship. This is a shortcut that enables to create a new instance that differs only slightly from this SynonymRelationship by modifying only some of the attributes.

Overrides:

clone in class RelationshipBase<Synonym,Taxon,SynonymRelationshipType>
