NAME¶

TM::Axes - Topic Maps, Axes for TM::match*

DESCRIPTION¶

The TM module offers the method "match" (and friends) to query assertions in a TM data structure. While there is a generic search specification, it will be too slow. Instead some axes have been implemented specifically. These are listed below.

SEARCH SPECIFICATIONS¶
