DefaultUsability

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Cloneable, Emptiable, LenientComparable, IdentifiedObject, Element, Usability

public class DefaultUsability
extends AbstractElement
implements Usability

Degree of adherence of a dataset to a specific set of user requirements. The following property is mandatory in a well-formed metadata according ISO 19115:

QE_Usability └─result…………… Value obtained from applying a data quality measure.

Limitations:

• Instances of this class are not synchronized for multi-threading. Synchronization, if needed, is caller's responsibility.
• Serialized objects of this class are not guaranteed to be compatible with future Apache SIS releases. Serialization support is appropriate for short term storage or RMI between applications running the same version of Apache SIS. For long term storage, use XML instead.

Since:

0.3

Constructor Detail

DefaultUsability

public DefaultUsability()

Constructs an initially empty usability.

DefaultUsability

public DefaultUsability(Usability object)

Constructs a new instance initialized with the values from the specified metadata object. This is a shallow copy constructor, since the other metadata contained in the given object are not recursively copied.

Parameters:

object - the metadata to copy values from, or null if none.

See Also:

cast­Or­Copy(Usability)

Method Detail

castOrCopy

public static DefaultUsability castOrCopy(Usability object)

Returns a SIS metadata implementation with the values of the given arbitrary implementation. This method performs the first applicable action in the following choices:

• If the given object is null, then this method returns null.
• Otherwise if the given object is already an instance of Default­Usability, then it is returned unchanged.
• Otherwise a new Default­Usability instance is created using the copy constructor and returned. Note that this is a shallow copy operation, since the other metadata contained in the given object are not recursively copied.

Parameters:

object - the object to get as a SIS implementation, or null if none.

Returns:

a SIS implementation containing the values of the given object (may be the given object itself), or null if the argument was null.
