Topic maps, indexing support (reification axis)
# somehow get a map (any subclass of TM will do)
my $tm = ...
# one option: create an eager index (immediate population)
use TM::Index::Reified;
my $idx = new TM::Index::Reified ($tm, closed => 1);
# for most operations which involve is_reified to be called
# should be much faster
This index can be attached to a map if the method \*(C`is_reified\*(C' is about to be called very often. Most likely you will want to have the index to be closed, i.e. populated.
The package inherits most of its functionality from TM::Index.
\s-1NOTE\s0: As for all indices, modifications of the underlying map are not reflected automatically.
The constructor/destructor is inherited from TM::Index.
This index attaches in a special way to the map.
Invoking this, you will fill this index with authoritative information.
