NAME

       TM::Index::Reified - Topic Maps, Indexing support (reification axis)

SYNOPSIS

	   # somehow get a map (any subclass of TM will do)
	   my $tm = ...

	   # one option: create an eager index (immediate population)
	   use TM::Index::Reified;
	   my $idx = new TM::Index::Reified ($tm, closed => 1);

	   # for most operations which involve is_reified to be called
	   # should be much faster

DESCRIPTION

       This index can be attached to a map if the method "is_reified" is about to be called very often.  Most likely you will want to have the
       index to be closed, i.e. populated.

       The package inherits most of its functionality from TM::Index.

       NOTE: As for all indices, modifications of the underlying map are not reflected automatically.

INTERFACE

   Constructor

   Methods
       attach, detach
	   This index attaches in a special way to the map.

       populate
	   Invoking this, you will fill this index with authoritative information.
