Interface Summary

Association	This interface describes an association between one or more topics, subject indicators, or resources.
BaseName	This interface describes a base name associated with a topic.
DataObject	Base interface for interfaces which represent topic map elements containing character data or remote resource references.
Member	Represents a member of an association.
NamedObject	Deprecated. Since, as of XTM 1.0, Topics are the only objects with base names, this interface is no longer necessary.
Occurrence	This interface defines a single occurrence construct in a Topic Map.
ProviderTransaction	The interface for a transaction managed by a TopicMapProvider.
ScopedObject	This interface describes a Topic Map construct which is scoped, and whose validity is thereby constrained to the set of topics that comprise the scope.
Topic	This interface describes a topic in a Topic Map.
TopicMap	This interface defines the whole Topic Map construct.
TopicMapFactory	This interface defines a factory object for copying the whole family of Topic Map objects.
TopicMapManager	This interface is implemented by classes which provide aggregation services for TopicMapProviders.
TopicMapObject	The generic base interface for topic map objects.
TopicMapProvider	Interface implemented by an object which wishes to be the source of a TopicMap object.
TopicMapUtils	This interface defines the basic set of utility functions expected from a topic map engine.
Variant	This interface is used to define an alternate naming scheme for a topic.
VariantContainer	The base interface for an object which may contain a list of child Variants.
VariantName	Interface representing an alternate name for a topic.

Class Summary

PropertyNames
PSI	Deprecated. Use the PSIs defined in XTMPSI
TMTypes	This class provides a utility function for determining the type of a Topic Map object
TopicMapFactoryBase
TopicMapProviderBase	Provides a skeleton implementation of a basic TopicMapProvider with the addTopicMap() method implemented.
TopicMapProviderFactory	Abstract class to be extended by implementations which allow access to TopicMaps using the TopicMapProvider interface.
Types	Contains numerical symbols used for the purpose of identifying the type of a particular topic map object.
XTMPSI	This class defines constants for the XTM 1.0 Published Subject Indicators.

Exception Summary

DuplicateObjectIDException	Indicates that two different objects in a topic map were found to have the same "unique" ID.
DuplicateResourceLocatorException	Exception thrown when the system detects an attempt to add a new topic map object with the same resource location as an existing topic map object.
DuplicateTopicException	An exception thrown when trying to add a topic to a topic map which is determined to be a duplicate of a topic already in the map.
IntegrityViolationException	Thrown if an attempt is made to modify a TopicMap or TopicMapObject in such a way that would cause referential integrity of the TopicMap to be compromised.
InvalidTopicMapException	Deprecated. This class is not used.
MergedTopicSubjectClashException	Indicates that an attempt was made to merge two topics with different subjects.
ProviderTransactionException	Exception raised by transaction processing methods.
TopicMapProcessingException	Indicates that the engine encountered an unexpected condition during topic map processing.
TopicMapProviderException	Indicates that a topic map provider encountered an unexpected condition.
TopicMapRuntimeException	Indicates that the engine encountered an unexpected condition at runtime.
TopicNotFoundException

Error Summary

TopicMapProviderFactoryConfigurationError

Exception raised if a TopicMapProviderFactory instance cannot be created and configured.
