However, this isn't really necessary since the depth of hierarchical list items can be used to determine whether or not a JTree is displayed.)

 The following methods belong to the UMD class in the MBAT Metadata Interface:

  • SearchParamGroup[] getSearchParamGroups() Get the list of group objects which containing the list of SearchParams. This list is used to form the initial MBAT query panel.
Changed:
<

  • DataSourceRef[] getDataSourceRefs() Get the list of available data sources. The client will determine which sources are appropriate for a given search depending on which SearchParams? are selected from the list of SearchGroups? above.

  • SearchParam A search parameter supplied to the data source interface classes and passed to the actual data sources.

  • SearchParam A search parameter class supplied to the data source interface classes that contains the parameter passed to the actual data sources.
  • SearchParamGroup Groupings of search parameters as they appear in the initial MBAT query frame. These groupings are based on the type of query. For example, to query by "subject", SearchParams for species, strain and treatment are grouped together.

  • AnnotType (temporary) A class containing static String definitions from a previous implementation of MBAT search. This class will be removed once the search parameters are completely abstracted within MBAT (that is, MBAT no longer needs to know anything about the meaning of a particular parameter).
