      org.hypergraphdb.atom.HGSubsumes

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Iterable<HGHandle>, HGLink

public class HGSubsumes
extends HGPlainLink

The HGSubsumes link represents a subsumes relationship between two atoms, either declared, or inferred by HyperGraph. Generally, such a relationship will exist between type atoms (i.e. instance of HGAtomType). One can explicitely create such a link, for instance to declare a subtyping relationship between types. HyperGraph is also allowed to create such links as part of query processing or other activities.
