Class InMemoryOntologyTermFilter

java.lang.Object
  macaw.persistenceLayer.demo.InMemoryOntologyTermFilter

public class InMemoryOntologyTermFilter
extends java.lang.Object

holds code used to support the search feature that lets end-users select an ontology term from an existing list. When the list pops up (see OntologyTermsPanel) and users press the "Select" button, a new dialog pops up showing all the ontology terms that are known in the system. This filter helps limit the list of all ontology terms so that users can rapidly find the one they want to reference for a variable record.
