Direct Known Subclasses:

PictureOntologySource

public class XMLOntologySource
extends AbstractTreeOntologySource

an ontology source that reads its terms from a bespoke XML format.

 ontologyTerms
      ontologyTerm
           wordPhrase
           definition
           webPage
           image
 

The "ontologyTerms" tag has attributes "identifier" and "relatedTerms" which help this class organise the terms in a tree. "relatedTerms" takes a list of space delimited identifiers that are found in the "identifier" attribute of other terms.
