1. def concatenate(attribs: MetaData, new_tail: MetaData): MetaData

   appends all attributes from new_tail to attribs, without attempting to detect or remove duplicates

   appends all attributes from new_tail to attribs, without attempting to detect or remove duplicates. The method guarantees that all attributes from attribs come before the attributes in new_tail, but does not guarantee to preserve the relative order of attribs. Duplicates can be removed with normalize.

2. def equals(arg0: Any): Boolean

   This method is used to compare the receiver object (this) with the argument object (arg0) for equivalence

   This method is used to compare the receiver object (this) with the argument object (arg0) for equivalence.

   The default implementations of this method is an equivalence relation:

   • It is reflexive: for any instance x of type Any, x.equals(x) should return true.
   • It is symmetric: for any instances x and y of type Any, x.equals(y) should return true if and only if y.equals(x) returns true.
   • It is transitive: for any instances x, y, and z of type AnyRef if x.equals(y) returns true and y.equals(z) returns true, then x.equals(z) should return true.

   If you override this method, you should verify that your implementation remains an equivalence relation. Additionally, when overriding this method it is often necessary to override hashCode to ensure that objects that are "equal" (o1.equals(o2) returns true) hash to the same Int (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)).

   arg0

   the object to compare against this object for equality.

   returns

   true if the receiver object is equivalent to the argument; false otherwise.

3. def getUniversalKey(attrib: MetaData, scope: NamespaceBinding): String

   returns key if md is unprefixed, pre+key is md is prefixed

   returns key if md is unprefixed, pre+key is md is prefixed

4. def hashCode(): Int

   Returns a hash code value for the object

   Returns a hash code value for the object.

   The default hashing algorithm is platform dependent.

   Note that it is allowed for two objects to have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)) yet not be equal (o1.equals(o2) returns false). A degenerate implementation could always return 0. However, it is required that if two objects are equal (o1.equals(o2) returns true) that they have identical hash codes (o1.hashCode.equals(o2.hashCode)). Therefore, when overriding this method, be sure to verify that the behavior is consistent with the equals method.

5. def normalize(attribs: MetaData, scope: NamespaceBinding): MetaData

   returns normalized MetaData, with all duplicates removed and namespace prefixes resolved to namespace URIs via the given scope

   returns normalized MetaData, with all duplicates removed and namespace prefixes resolved to namespace URIs via the given scope.

6. def toString(): String

   Returns a string representation of the object

   Returns a string representation of the object.

   The default representation is platform dependent.

7. def update(attribs: MetaData, scope: NamespaceBinding, updates: MetaData): MetaData

   returns MetaData with attributes updated from given MetaData

   returns MetaData with attributes updated from given MetaData
