LogicalStatement (DSpace Kernel :: API and Implementation 7.1.1 API)

All Known Subinterfaces:

Condition, Filter

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractCondition, AbstractOperator, And, BitstreamCountCondition, DefaultFilter, InCollectionCondition, InCommunityCondition, IsWithdrawnCondition, MetadataValueMatchCondition, MetadataValuesMatchCondition, Nand, Nor, Not, Or, ReadableByGroupCondition
```
public interface LogicalStatement
```
The base interface used by all logic classes: all operators and conditions are logical statements. All statements must accept an Item object and return a boolean result. The philosophy is that because Filter, Condition, Operator classes implement getResult(), they can all be used as sub-statements in other Filters and Operators.
