Interface SSWAPProperty

All Superinterfaces:

SSWAPElement, SSWAPModel

All Known Implementing Classes:

public interface SSWAPProperty
extends SSWAPElement

A SSWAPProperty is a specific instance of a SSWAPPredicate with an assigned value, associated with a SSWAPIndividual. A property consists of a name (URI) and a non-null value (SSWAPElement). Like String, a SSWAPProperty is immutable. To create a SSWAPProperty, assign a property/value pair to an individual; see SSWAPIndividual.
