getSchema
FeatureFilter getSchema()
Get the schema for this type.
The schema is represented as a FeatureFilter. This will almost certainly be a complext filter using ands and ors to combine multiple constraints. A particular type may chose to restrict any one of the feature's properties, their allowed children and their allowed parents in a feature hierachy, the type of the annotation associated with it and anything else that can be expressed using a feature fitler.
For a feature to actualy conform to this type, it must be acceptable by the schema filter.
- Returns:
- the schema FeatureFilter
-
