Constraint

The Constraint class is an abstract class that is the parent of all other Constraint classes. A constraint is a rule or set of rules that a variant must satisfy to qualify as a valid member of the Categorical Variant. Constraint subclasses are only used in Categorical Variant objects.

Note

This data class is at a trial use maturity level and may change in future releases. Maturity levels are described in the GKS Maturity Model.

Computational Definition

Constraints are used to construct an intensional semantics of categorical variant types.
