Interface RegCapabilityInterface

  • public interface RegCapabilityInterface
    Describes a service capability interface belonging to a registry resource. This typically provides an access URL at which the service can be found, as well as some other metadata.

    This class conflates the concepts of Capability and Interface. In VOResource 1.0 the Capability:Interface relationship is one:many, but in practice it is, as far as I can see, nearly always one:one. In the case of finding an actual one:many relationship, we just use multiple RegCapabilityInterface objects all related to the same Capability.
