Concepts

→ classes representing LCE language concepts

• located in typescript/src/core/concepts
  • all files end with .concept.ts
  • may export one or more concept classes each

Notes for creating new concept classes:

• each concept class must (indirectly) inherit from LCEConcept/LCENamedConcept
• each concept class must override the static conceptId field with a unique string identifier
• use CodeCoordinates class as field type to encode code coordinates
• all type and value concepts are located in type.concept.ts and value.concept.ts respectively

ConceptMap:

• Concept Maps are realized in their more complex form, integrating parent property names into their index structure
• use mergeConceptMaps, unifyConceptMap, singleEntryConceptMap, createConceptMap, and getAndCastConcepts utility functions for the concise management of ConceptMap instances
