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
       The constructor/destructor is inherited from TM::Index.

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

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

NAME

       TM::Index::Match - Topic Maps, Indexing support (match layer)

SYNOPSIS

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

	   # one option: create a lazy index which learns as you go
	   use TM::Index::Match;
	   my $idx = new TM::Index::Match ($tm);

	   # for most operations which involve match_forall to be called
	   # reading and querying the map should be much faster

	   # learn about some statistics, what keys are most likely to be useful
	   my @optimized_keys = @{ $stats->{proposed_keys} };

	   # another option: create an eager index
	   my $idx = new TM::Index::Match ($tm, closed => 1);

	   # pre-populate it, use the proposed keys
	   $idx->populate (@optimized_keys);
	   # this may be a lengthy operation if the map is big
	   # but then the index is 'complete'

	   # query map now, should also be faster

	   # getting rid of an index explicitly
	   $idx->detach;

	   # cleaning an index
	   $idx->discard;

DESCRIPTION

       This index implements a generic query cache which can capture all queries not handled by more specific indices. This class inherits
       directly from TM::Index.

INTERFACE

   Constructor
       The constructor/destructors are the same as that described in TM::Index.

   Methods
       populate
	   $idx->populate (@list_of_keys)

	   To populate the index with canned results this method can be invoked. At this stage it is not very clever and may take quite some time
	   to work its way through a larger map. This is most likely something to be done in the background.

	   The list of keys to be passed in is a bit black magic. Your current best bet is to look at the index statistics method, and retrieve a
	   proposed list from there:

	      @optimized_keys = @{ $stats->{proposed_keys} };

	      $idx->populate (@optimized_keys[0..2]); # only take the first few

	   If this list is empty, nothing clever will happen.

       statistics
	   $hashref = $idx->statistics

	   This returns a hash containing statistical information about certain keys, how much data is behind them, how often they are used when
	   adding information to the index, how often data is read out successfully. The "cost" component can give you an estimated about the
	   cost/benefit.
