Interface NetricsFieldedReader

All Known Implementing Classes:

NetricsCSVReader

public interface NetricsFieldedReader

This interface is used to provide sets of fields to other Netrics classes. This interface provides a list of raw "records" consisting of a set of strings. Unlike the NetricsRecSrc interface, these are raw values that may have varying numbers of fields in each record. Currently this interface is used by the thesaurus classes: NetricsThresaurus, NetricsCombinedThesaurus, NetricsWeightedDictionary, as a means of loading equivalence classes.
