        Parameters:
        element - Root of the XML DOM tree to construct a model object graph from.
        model - Handler for the OME model which keeps track of instances and references seen during object population.

      • link

        public boolean link​(Reference reference,
                            OMEModelObject o)
        Description copied from interface: OMEModelObject
        Link a given OME model object to this model object.
        Specified by:
        link in interface OMEModelObject
        Overrides:
        link in class AbstractOMEModelObject
        Parameters:
        reference - The type qualifier for the reference. This should be the corresponding reference type for o. If, for example, o is of type Image, reference MUST be of type ImageRef.
        o - Model object to link to.
        Returns:
        true if this model object was able to handle the reference, false otherwise.

        Description copied from class: AbstractOMEModelObject
        Takes the entire object hierarchy and produced an XML DOM tree taking into account class hierarchy.
        Overrides:
        asXMLElement in class AbstractOMEModelObject
        Parameters:
        document - Destination document for element creation, etc.
        Reference_element - Element from the subclass. If null a new element will be created of this class.
