      a SourceValuePair containing the source and value representing the purpose

    • setPurpose

      public void setPurpose(SourceValuePair<Purpose> purpose)
      Sets the purpose of the classification. The purpose is encapsulated as a source-value pair, where the source indicates the context or origin of the value, and the value specifies the actual purpose.
      Parameters:
      purpose - a SourceValuePair containing the source and value representing the purpose

    • getTaxonPaths

      public List<TaxonPath> getTaxonPaths()
      Retrieves the list of taxon paths associated with this classification. A taxon path represents a hierarchical classification or categorization.
      Returns:
      a list of TaxonPath objects associated with the classification.

    • setTaxonPaths

      public void setTaxonPaths(List<TaxonPath> taxonPaths)
      Sets the list of taxon paths associated with this classification. A taxon path represents a hierarchical classification or categorization.
      Parameters:
      taxonPaths - a list of TaxonPath objects to associate with the classification

    • getDescription

      public UnboundLangString getDescription()
      Retrieves the description of the classification. The description is represented as a list of language strings, allowing for multilingual support.
      Returns:
      an UnboundLangString object containing the multilingual description of the classification.

    • setDescription

      public void setDescription(UnboundLangString description)
      Sets the description of the classification. The description is represented as an UnboundLangString, allowing for multilingual support.
      Parameters:
      description - an UnboundLangString object containing the multilingual description of the classification

    • getKeywords

      public UnboundLangString getKeywords()
      Retrieves the keywords associated with the classification. The keywords are represented as an UnboundLangString object, which supports multilingual strings.
