Class VNode

java.lang.Object
org.episteme.social.linguistics.loaders.tigerxml.core.VNode
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
public class VNode extends Object implements Serializable
The purpose of the class VNode (= virtual node) is to temporarily store mother (secondary daughter) information concerning daughters (secondary mothers) that have not been created yet. The necessity of creating a VNode arises when the dom parser parses an NT but has not parsed one of the daughters (secondary mothers) belongig to it.
