Interface EdgeBatchForm

All Superinterfaces:

EdgeForm, Extensible, Identifiable, OsidBrowsableForm, OsidExtensibleForm, OsidForm, OsidIdentifiableForm, OsidObjectForm, OsidRelationshipForm, OsidTemporalForm, Suppliable

public interface EdgeBatchForm
extends EdgeForm

This is the form for creating and updating edges in bulk. Like all OsidForms, various data elements may be set here for use in the create and update methods in the EdgeBatchAdminSession. For each data element that may be set, metadata may be examined to provide display hints or data constraints.
