XEventClassifier (OpenXES)

All Known Implementing Classes:

XEventAndClassifier, XEventAttributeClassifier, XEventLifeTransClassifier, XEventNameClassifier, XEventResourceClassifier
```
public interface XEventClassifier
```
This interface defines a classification of events. It assigns to each event instance a class identity, thereby imposing an equality relation on the set of events.

Method Summary

All Methods Instance Methods Abstract Methods
Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`void`	`accept(XVisitor visior, XLog log)`	Runs the given visitor for the given log on this classifier.
`java.lang.String`	`getClassIdentity(XEvent event)`	Retrieves the unique class identity string of a given event.
`java.lang.String[]`	`getDefiningAttributeKeys()`	Retrieves the set of attribute keys which are used in this event classifier (May be used for the construction of events that are not part of an existing event class).
`java.lang.String`	`name()`	Returns the name of this comparator
`boolean`	`sameEventClass(XEvent eventA, XEvent eventB)`	Checks whether two event instances correspond to the same event class, i.e.
`void`	`setName(java.lang.String name)`	Assigns a custom name to this classifier

- Method Detail
  - name
```
java.lang.String name()
```
    Returns the name of this comparator
  - setName
```
void setName(java.lang.String name)
```
    Assigns a custom name to this classifier
    
    Parameters:
    
    name - Name to be assigned to this classifier.
  - sameEventClass
```
boolean sameEventClass(XEvent eventA,
                       XEvent eventB)
```
    Checks whether two event instances correspond to the same event class, i.e. are equal in that sense.
  - getClassIdentity
```
java.lang.String getClassIdentity(XEvent event)
```
    Retrieves the unique class identity string of a given event.
  - getDefiningAttributeKeys
```
java.lang.String[] getDefiningAttributeKeys()
```
    Retrieves the set of attribute keys which are used in this event classifier (May be used for the construction of events that are not part of an existing event class).
    
    Returns:
    
    A set of attribute keys, which are used for defining this classifier.
  - accept
```
void accept(XVisitor visior,
            XLog log)
```
    Runs the given visitor for the given log on this classifier.
