Topic Maps, Indexing support (reification axis)

NAME

TM::Index::Reified - Topic Maps, Indexing support (reification axis)

SYNOPSIS

    # somehow get a map (any subclass of TM will do)
    my $tm = ... 
    # one option: create an eager index (immediate population)
    use TM::Index::Reified;
    my $idx = new TM::Index::Reified ($tm, closed => 1);
    
    # for most operations which involve is_reified to be called
    # should be much faster

DESCRIPTION

This index can be attached to a map if the method "is_reified" is about to be called very often. Most likely you will want to have the index to be closed, i.e. populated.

The package inherits most of its functionality from TM::Index.

NOTE: As for all indices, modifications of the underlying map are not reflected automatically.

INTERFACE

Constructor

The constructor/destructor is inherited from TM::Index.

Methods

attach, detach
