OntologyEvent.getConcept() returns the newly created topic.

Parameters:

event - the OntologyEvent object containing the user and the newly created topic

associationCreated

public void associationCreated(OntologyEvent event)

Called by the OntologyManager when an association is created.

OntologyEvent.getConcept() returns the newly created association.

Parameters:

event - the OntologyEvent object containing the user and the newly created association

occurrenceCreated

public void occurrenceCreated(OntologyEvent event)

Called by the OntologyManager when an occurrence is created.

OntologyEvent.getConcept() returns the base topic, OntologyEvent.getOccurrence() the newly created occurrence.

Parameters:

event - the OntologyEvent object containing the user, the topic and the newly created occurrence

conceptCommentChanged

public void conceptCommentChanged(OntologyEvent event)

Called by the OntologyManager when the comment of a concept has changed.

OntologyEvent.getConcept() returns the base concept, OntologyEvent.getOldValue() the comment's old value.

Parameters:
