# Class DefaultApplicationSchemaInformation

Object
AbstractMetadata
ModifiableMetadata
ISOMetadata
DefaultApplicationSchemaInformation

All Implemented Interfaces:
  `Serializable`, `Emptiable`, `LenientComparable`, `IdentifiedObject`, `ApplicationSchemaInformation`

public class DefaultApplicationSchemaInformation extends ISOMetadata implements ApplicationSchemaInformation
Information about the application schema used to build the dataset. The following properties are mandatory in a well-formed metadata according ISO 19115:
`MD_ApplicationSchemaInformation` `├─name……………………………………………………………` Name of the application schema used. `│ ├─title………………………………………………` Name by which the cited resource is known. `│ └─date…………………………………………………` Reference date for the cited resource. `├─schemaLanguage…………………………………` Identification of the schema language used. `└─constraintLanguage………………………` Formal language used in Application Schema.

## 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 Details

  - ### DefaultApplicationSchemaInformation

    public DefaultApplicationSchemaInformation()
    Construct an initially empty application schema information.

  - ### DefaultApplicationSchemaInformation

    public DefaultApplicationSchemaInformation(Citation name, String schemaLanguage, String constraintLanguage)
    Creates a application schema information initialized to the specified values.
    Parameters:
      `name` - the name of the application schema used.
      `schemaLanguage` - the identification of the schema language used.
      `constraintLanguage` - the formal language used in application schema.

  - ### DefaultApplicationSchemaInformation

    public DefaultApplicationSchemaInformation(ApplicationSchemaInformation object)
    Constructs a new instance initialized with the values from the specified metadata object. This is a shallow copy constructor, because 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(ApplicationSchemaInformation)`

- ## Method Details

  - ### castOrCopy

    public static DefaultApplicationSchemaInformation castOrCopy(ApplicationSchemaInformation 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 `DefaultApplicationSchemaInformation`, then it is returned unchanged.
    - Otherwise a new `DefaultApplicationSchemaInformation` instance is created using the copy constructor and returned. Note that this is a shallow copy operation, because 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.

  - ### getName
