Interface VariantName

All Superinterfaces:

DataObject, TopicMapObject

public interface VariantName

extends TopicMapObject, DataObject

Interface representing an alternate name for a topic. In XTM, any topic's base name may provide several alternate names or "variants". The "variant name" is the actual data provided with such a variant. This data need not necessarily be string of characters, but may as well be a reference to an external resource. This interface defines the basic methods for retrieving and manipulating both these types of variant names.
