Detailed Description

Discover and query available OME-XML transforms.

This class will find the available XSL transforms to convert between different OME-XML model versions, using either the installed schemas, or schemas in a specified directory.

In order to convert between different schema versions, one or more transforms will require applying. This class will determine the optimal set of transforms to apply for a given source and target model version, computed using a graph representation and shortest path algorithm.

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum ome::xml::OMETransformResolver::Quality

Transformation quality.

Schema transforms may vary in quality. Upgrades are typically lossless and classed as "excellent", while downgrades may lose information due to the older schemas lacking the ability to represent metadata added in later schema versions. These quality levels are arbitrary classifications and weightings used to match the existing manually maintained transform lists used in the Java implementation.

Enumerator
POOR	Extreme data loss.
FAIR	Moderate data loss.
GOOD	Slight data loss.
EXCELLENT	No data loss.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

ome::xml::OMETransformResolver::OMETransformResolver

(

)

Default constructor.

The transform directory used will be the default set at install time or in the environment.

References impl, ome::common::module_runtime_path(), and ome::xml::register_module_paths().

ome::xml::OMETransformResolver::OMETransformResolver

(

const boost::filesystem::path &

transformdir

)

Construct with specified transform directory.

Parameters

transformdir

the directory containing the XSL transform files.

References impl.

Member Function Documentation

std::string ome::xml::OMETransformResolver::quality_name ( OMETransformResolver::Quality  quality )

static

Get the name associated with a Quality enumeration.

Parameters

quality

the Quality enumeration.

Returns

a string representation of the Quality enumeration.

References EXCELLENT, FAIR, GOOD, and POOR.

Referenced by ome::xml::operator<<(), and transform_order().

Here is the caller graph for this function:

std::set< std::string > ome::xml::OMETransformResolver::schema_versions

(

)

const

Get the available schema versions for transformation.

Returns

all schema versions found as a source or target for a transform.

References impl.

std::pair< std::vector< OMETransformResolver::Transform >, OMETransformResolver::Quality > ome::xml::OMETransformResolver::transform_order	(	const std::string &	source,
		const std::string &	target
	)		const

Determine the optimal transform order between schema versions.

Run a shortest path search to determine the highest quality set of transforms between the two versions.

The returned quality metric is the sum of the quality metrics for all of the transforms, rounded down to the nearest quality value.

Parameters

source	the source schema version.
target	the target schema version.

Returns

a vector of Transform objects in the order to apply, and an aggregate quality metric.

References FAIR, GOOD, impl, POOR, quality_name(), ome::xml::transform(), and ome::xml::OMETransformResolver::Transform::weight.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

void ome::xml::OMETransformResolver::write_graphviz

(

std::ostream &

os

)

Write a GraphViz dot representation of the internal graph state.

Primarily intended for debugging and documentation.

Parameters

os	the stream to write the dot representation to.
