All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable

public class SimilarSchemaElementPair
extends SchemaElementPair
implements java.lang.Comparable

Constructor Detail

SimilarSchemaElementPair

public SimilarSchemaElementPair(SchemaElement first,
                                SchemaElement second,
                                BidirectionalDegree degree)

Constructs a SimilarSchemaElementPair object.

Parameters:

first - the first element of the pair

second - the second element of the pair

degree - the bidirectionan similarity degrees of the pair

SimilarSchemaElementPair

public SimilarSchemaElementPair(SchemaElementPair pair,
                                BidirectionalDegree degree)

Constructs a SimilarSchemaElementPair object.

Parameters:

pair - the schema element pair

degree - the bidirectionan similarity degrees of the pair

Method Detail

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class SchemaElementPair

getDegree

public BidirectionalDegree getDegree()

Returns the bidirectional degree of this pair.

Returns:

the bidirectional degree of this pair.

writeSimilarSchemaElementPairs

public static void writeSimilarSchemaElementPairs(java.lang.String fileprefix,
                                                  SimilarSchemaElementPair[] pairs)
                                           throws java.io.IOException

Throws:

java.io.IOException

merge

public static java.util.Hashtable merge(java.util.Hashtable table1,
                                        java.util.Hashtable table2)

Returns a Hashtable with the merged bidirectional degrees defined in the arguments. The input arguments and the returned value are hash tables which associate SchemaElementPair objects to SimilarSchemaElementPair objects. The merging process produces for each pair of schema elements that appear in the input hash tables the average bidirectional degrees.

Returns:

a Hashtable with the merged bidirectional degrees.

compareTo

public int compareTo(java.lang.Object o)

Specified by:

compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable
