NAME

       TM::Index::Characteristics - Topic Maps, Indexing support (match layer)

SYNOPSIS

           # somehow get a map (any subclass of TM will do)
           my $tm = ...

           # one option: create a lazy index which learns as you go
           use TM::Index::Characteristics;
           my $idx = new TM::Index::Characteristics ($tm);

           # for most operations which involve match_forall to be called
           # for querying characteristics should be much faster

DESCRIPTION

       This index can be attached to a map if querying it for characteristics (here names and
       occurrences) is intensive.

       The package inherits most of its functionality from TM::Index.

INTERFACE
