Representation

public Representation(String text,
                      String label,
                      String abbreviatedLabel,
                      Language language)

text represents an explanation/declaration ('The name is illegitimate according to ICBN'); label a string identifier ('illegitimate name'); abbreviatedLabel a shortened string for the label ('nom. illeg.')

Method Detail

NewInstance

public static Representation NewInstance(String text,
                                         String label,
                                         String abbreviatedLabel,
                                         Language lang)

Parameters:

text -

label -

lang -

Returns:

getLabel

public String getLabel()

setLabel

public void setLabel(String label)

getAbbreviatedLabel

public String getAbbreviatedLabel()

setAbbreviatedLabel

public void setAbbreviatedLabel(String abbreviatedLabel)

getDescription

public String getDescription()

Returns the description of this representation see getText()

Returns:

setDescription

protected void setDescription(String text)

getText

public String getText()

Returns the description of this representation.

Overrides:

getText in class LanguageStringBase

See Also:

getDescription()

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: CdmBase

Overrides Object.toString(). This returns an String that identifies the object well without beeing necessarily unique. Specification: This method should never call other object' methods so it can be well used for debugging without problems like lazy loading, unreal states etc. Note: If overriding this method's javadoc always copy or link the above requirement. If not overwritten by a subclass method returns the class, id and uuid as a string for any CDM object. For example: Taxon#13

Overrides:

toString in class CdmBase

See Also:

Object.toString()

clone

public Object clone()

Clones this Representation. This is a shortcut that enables to create a new instance that differs only slightly from this Representation by modifying only some of the attributes.

Overrides:

clone in class LanguageStringBase

LanguageStringBase.clone(), Object.clone()
