NESTSubWorkflowNodeObject (ProCAKE Framework 4.0.0 API)

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<NESTGraphItemObject>, DataObject, NESTGraphItemObject, NESTNodeObject, PropertyHandler

All Known Implementing Classes:

NESTSubWorkflowNodeObjectImpl
```
public interface NESTSubWorkflowNodeObject
extends NESTNodeObject
```
Interface of a SubWorkflow-Node of a NEST-graph. Each subworkflow consists of exactly one subworkflow node as root. It can contain any number of subworkflow nodes inside that are connected via part-of edges. A subworkflow node is not a part of the controlflow, subworkflow nodes are only connected by part-of edges. The semantic description associated to a subworkflow node represents some overall properties of the entire subworkflow. This can be a subworkflow classification in some ontology, a set of semantic tags, or other properties related to the quality or execution requirements of the subworkflow.

- Method Detail
  - getParentNode
```
NESTNodeObject getParentNode()
```
    Returns the parent node that is connected to this SubworkflowNode by a part-of-edge.
    
    Returns:
    
    the parent node, or null, if there is no parent node
  - getSubGraph
```
NESTWorkflowObject getSubGraph()
```
    Returns a copy of the subgraph with this object as the root node. The subworkflow object becomes a workflow object.
    
    Returns:
    
    The NESTGraphObject of this subworkflow node.
  - deleteSubgraph
```
void deleteSubgraph()
```
    Deletes the subgraph of this SubworkflowNodeObject recursively.
