org.odpi.openmetadata.commonservices.generichandlers.ClassificationPurposeResolver

public class ClassificationPurposeResolver
extends Object

ClassificationPurposeResolver works out the purpose of a classification type. The purpose recorded in the ClassificationDef is used first. If it is missing (for example, the type came from a cohort member running an older types archive), the purpose defined in OpenMetadataType is used. A type that has neither (such as a type added by an extension archive) inherits the purpose of its nearest super type.
