Interface ResourceMapFactory

All Known Implementing Classes:

AtomFactory, FactoryBase

public interface ResourceMapFactory

A ResourceMapFactory will be used to create a ResourceMap. It can either be a totally new ResourceMap or one that is parsed from an existing serialization of a ResourceMap. Different implementations of this interface will handle different serialization formats.

At the moment the Open Archive Initiative describes two possible formats:

• Atom - http://www.openarchives.org/ore/0.2/atom-implementation
• RDF/XML - http://www.openarchives.org/ore/0.2/rdfsyntax
