Help for bridge inference
Troeps will compute oriented symbolic correlations between viewpoints
(i.e. taxonomies). For that purpose, it will find the maximal
possible bridges between them.
Two methods are available for finding bridges:
- an extent-based method which compares the set of objects attached
to classes, and
- a type-based method which compare the types of classes (based on
the types of their fields).
The following input is required by Troeps in order to infer
bridges:
- the set of viewpoints to be taken as source,
- the viewpoint to be taken as target (which must not be part of the
sources),
- the indication of the action to perform: create the bridges or
just visualise them,
- the method to use (type-based or extent-based).
The result is a set of minimal bridges (i.e. for which the source
is the most general and the target the most specific). Sometimes
the classes in the source are less numerous than the selected
viewpoints because the class representing the viewpoint is its root.
