Class Classification

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Serializable
    public class Classification
extends InstanceAuditHeader
    The Classification class stores information about a classification assigned to an entity. The Classification has a name and some properties. Some classifications are explicitly added to an entity and other classifications are propagated to an entity along the relationships connected to it. The origin of the classification is also stored. Note: it is not valid to have a classification with a null or blank name.
