Interface MapObject

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable, SourceElement

All Known Implementing Classes:

MapObjectImpl

public interface MapObject

extends SourceElement, Comparable

Represents information about the "to" or "from" end of a mapping. For example, a SNOMEDCT->ICD9CM mapping might have a MapObject representing a SNOMEDCT concept identifier and a MapObject representing a list of ICD9CM codes.

Following is a UML Class diagram showing the neighborhood around MapObject

This is used in conjunction with Mapping to represent all of the data in a row of the MRMAP file.
