RelType(String sab, String type)
This constructor takes initial values for each of the fields in the RelType.

Method Summary

int	compareTo(Object o) This method compares the RelType with a parameter Object based on the source abbreviation.
boolean	equals(Object o) This method returns true if the parameter has a source abbreviation and a relationship type that have the same values as those in this RelType.
Source	getSource() This method returns the name of the Source in this RelType.
String	getType() This method returns the type of the RelType.
int	hashCode() Get hashcode based on source abbreviation and relationship type
void	setSource(Source source) This method sets the Source of the RelType.
void	setType(String type) This method sets the type of the RelType.
