Composite Objects

 

Composite objects in LINCKS are built using presentation description objects, which provide a template for a composite class (i.e. the links have the part-of intuition), and contents objects. The contents objects are the root and the components of the composition. This way of handling compositions gives us a strong flexibility. It allows us to share contents objects between different compositions and allows different views of compositions sharing the same root.
