Class BasicCapability

java.lang.Object
  uk.ac.starlink.registry.BasicCapability

public class BasicCapability
extends Object

Describes a service capability interface belonging to a registry resource. This typically provides an access URL at which the service can be found, as well as some other metadata.

This class conflates the concepts of Capability and Interface. In VOResource 1.0 the Capability:Interface relationship is one:many, but in practice it is, as far as I can see, nearly always one:one. In the case of finding an actual one:many relationship, we just use multiple BasicCapability objects all related to the same Capability.
