man TM::Index::Reified (3): Topic Maps, Indexing support (reification axis)

SYNOPSIS

# somehow get a map (any subclass of TM will do)
my $tm = ...
# one option: create an eager index (immediate population)
use TM::Index::Reified;
my $idx = new TM::Index::Reified ($tm, closed => 1);

# for most operations which involve is_reified to be called
# should be much faster

DESCRIPTION

This index can be attached to a map if the method "is_reified" is about to be called very often. Most likely you will want to have the index to be closed, i.e. populated.

The package inherits most of its functionality from TM::Index.

NOTE: As for all indices, modifications of the underlying map are not reflected automatically.

INTERFACE

Constructor

The constructor/destructor is inherited from TM::Index.

Methods

attach, detach: This index attaches in a special way to the map.
populate: Invoking this, you will fill this index with authoritative information.
