Class ParticipantEvidenceComparator

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Comparator<ParticipantEvidence>
    Direct Known Subclasses:
    UnambiguousExactParticipantEvidenceComparator, UnambiguousParticipantEvidenceComparator
    public class ParticipantEvidenceComparator
extends Object
implements Comparator<ParticipantEvidence>
    Basic Experimental participant comparator. It will first compares experimental roles using AbstractCvTermComparator. If both experimental roles are equals, it will look at the identification methods using AbstractCvTermComparator. If both identification methods are equals, it will look at the experimental preparations using AbstractCvTermComparator. If both experimental preparations are equals, it will look at the expressed in organisms using OrganismComparator. If both organisms are the same, it will compare parameters using ParameterComparator
