Detailed Description
Parent class of Element.
MetaElement provides most of the services of Element. It has three roles:
- specify the interface of
Element<S, T>, - offer additional abstract services implemented using only services in the specified interfaces,
- link services to their external implementations.
Of course this class must be specialized over S and T, and no generic implementation is provided.
For additional genericity, the hierarchy between concepts should be mapped to a hierarchy of between their specialization of MetaElement.
