Class ConceptAttributeChange

java.lang.Object
  com.apelon.dts.client.events.ConceptAttributeChange

public class ConceptAttributeChange
extends Object

Defines concept attribute change. It contains all information of a concept modifying.

The concept modifying includes the following situation:

• modify a Concept name
• add/modify/delete a Concept Association
• add/modify/delete a Synonym
• add/modify/delete a Concept Property
• add/modify/delete an OntylogConcept Defining Role
• update an OntylogConcept's primitive
• create/ungroup an OntylogConcept's Role Group

There are six constructors to handle the above situation.
