Class Source

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Comparable<Source>, ResourceUri

    public class Source
    extends Object
    implements ResourceUri, Comparable<Source>
    Describes the source (the database) for a specific piece of information. Based on the DisGeNET sources/levels.

    Note that different versions of DisGeNET could refer to the same source, but have a different IRI to that source (for example due to using a different version of that database). To provide interoperability between different versions, The IRI's are therefore used as identifiers. The name could be identical and for the end-user the difference might not be that big, but from a design perspective these are treated as different @Sources, though in practice it might be the same source (or even the same version of that source).
