Detailed Description

The purpose of the MapsTo class is to make identity relationships between different ComponentInstances in functional and structural hierarchies more clear. For example, a MapsTo object may be used to connect outputs and inputs between different low-level ModuleDefinitions contained in a higher level Module Definition. A MapsTo object may also be used to override a generic Component in a low-level ModuleDefinition with an explicit Component in a high-level ModuleDefinition, for example mapping a generic gene to an explicit component with a name and sequence.

Public Attributes
URIProperty	refinement
	Each MapsTo object MUST specify the relationship between its local and remote ComponentInstance objects using one of the REQUIRED refinement URIs provided in the table below. More...

ReferencedObject	local
	The identity of the lower level ComponentInstance.

ReferencedObject	remote
	The identity of the higher level ComponentInstance.

URIProperty	persistentIdentity
	The persistentIdentity property is OPTIONAL and has a data type of URI. This URI serves to uniquely refer to a set of SBOL objects that are different versions of each other. An Identified object MUST be referred to using either its identity URI or its persistentIdentity URI.

TextProperty	displayId
	The displayId property is an OPTIONAL identifier with a data type of String. This property is intended to be an intermediate between name and identity that is machine-readable, but more human-readable than the full URI of an identity. If the displayId property is used, then its String value SHOULD be locally unique (global uniqueness is not necessary) and MUST be composed of only alphanumeric or underscore characters and MUST NOT begin with a digit.

VersionProperty	version
	If the version property is used, then it is RECOMMENDED that version numbering follow the conventions of semantic versioning, particularly as implemented by Maven. This convention represents versions as sequences of numbers and qualifiers that are separated by the characters “.” and “-” and are compared in lexicographical order (for example, 1 < 1.3.1 < 2.0-beta). For a full explanation, see the linked resources.

URIProperty	wasDerivedFrom
	The wasDerivedFrom property is OPTIONAL and has a data type of URI. An SBOL object with this property refers to another SBOL object or non-SBOL resource from which this object was derived. If the wasDerivedFrom property of an SBOL object A that refers to an SBOL object B has an identical persistentIdentity, and both A and B have a version, then the version of B MUST precede that of A. In addition, an SBOL object MUST NOT refer to itself via its own wasDerivedFrom property or form a cyclical chain of references via its wasDerivedFrom property and those of other SBOL objects. For example, the reference chain “ A was derived from B and B was derived from A” is cyclical.

ReferencedObject	wasGeneratedBy
	An Activity which generated this ComponentDefinition, eg., a design process like codon-optimization or a construction process like Gibson Assembly.

TextProperty	name
	The name property is OPTIONAL and has a data type of String. This property is intended to be displayed to a human when visualizing an Identified object. If an Identified object lacks a name, then software tools SHOULD instead display the object’s displayId or identity. It is RECOMMENDED that software tools give users the ability to switch perspectives between name properties that are human-readable and displayId properties that are less human-readable, but are more likely to be unique.

TextProperty	description
	The description property is OPTIONAL and has a data type of String. This property is intended to contain a more thorough text description of an Identified object.

URIProperty	identity
	The identity property is REQUIRED by all Identified objects and has a data type of URI. A given Identified object’s identity URI MUST be globally unique among all other identity URIs. The identity of a compliant SBOL object MUST begin with a URI prefix that maps to a domain over which the user has control. Namely, the user can guarantee uniqueness of identities within this domain. For other best practices regarding URIs see Section 11.2 of the SBOL specification doucment.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ MapsTo()

MapsTo	(	std::string	uri = `"example"`,
		std::string	local = `""`,
		std::string	remote = `""`,
		std::string	refinement = `SBOL_REFINEMENT_VERIFY_IDENTICAL`
	)

inline

Construct a MapsTo.

If operating in SBOL-compliant mode, use ModuleDefinition::mapsTos::create instead.

Parameters

uri	If operating in open-world mode, this should be a full URI including a scheme, namespace, and identifier. If SBOLCompliance configuration is enabled, then this argument is simply the displayId for the new object and a full URI will automatically be constructed.
local	The identity of the lower level ComponentInstance
remote	The identity of the higher level ComponentInstance
restriction	Flag indicating the relationship between high- and low-level ComponentInstances. By default, this is set to SBOL_REFINEMENT_VERIFY_IDENTICAL

◆ close()

void close ( )

virtualinherited

Use this method to destroy an SBOL object that is not contained by a parent Document.
