Class Summary

Class	Description
DefaultAlgorithm	Details of the methodology by which geographic information was derived from the instrument readings.
DefaultLineage	Information about the events or source data used in constructing the data specified by the scope or lack of knowledge about lineage.
DefaultNominalResolution	Distance between consistent parts of (centre, left side, right side) adjacent pixels.
DefaultProcessing	Comprehensive information about the procedure(s), process(es) and algorithm(s) applied in the process step.
DefaultProcessStep	Information about an event or transformation in the life of a resource.
DefaultProcessStepReport	Report of what occurred during the process step.
DefaultSource	Information about the source data used in creating the data specified by the scope.

Package org.apache.sis.metadata.iso.lineage Description

Information about the sources and production processes of a dataset. An explanation for this package is provided in the OpenGIS® javadoc. The remaining discussion on this page is specific to the SIS implementation.

Overview

For a global overview of metadata in SIS, see the org.apache.sis.metadata package javadoc.

Null values, nil objects and collections

All constructors and setter methods accept null arguments. A null argument value means that the metadata element can not be provided, and the reason for that is unspecified. Alternatively, users can specify why a metadata element is missing by providing a value created by Nil­Reason.create­Nil­Object(Class).

Unless otherwise noted in the Javadoc, all getter methods may return an empty collection, an empty array or null if the type is neither a collection or an array. Note that non-null values may be Nil­Objects.

Unless the metadata object has been marked as unmodifiable and unless otherwise noted in the Javadoc, all collections returned by getter methods are live: adding new elements in the collection modify directly the underlying metadata object.
