Term: TraversalSpecification

Captures how to traverse the MeshObjectGraph from a start MeshObject to a set of destination MeshObjects.

InfoGrid provides a number of different TraversalSpecifications for different requirements, including:

• the trivial one: traverse to all neighbor MeshObjects of the start MeshObject
• traverse to the neighbor MeshObjects whose relationships with the start MeshObject are blessed with a given RoleType
• traverse a number of TraversalSpecifications in sequence
• traverse a number of TraversalSpecifications in parallel, and return the superset of all destination MeshObjects.

Also applies to a start MeshObjectSet. The destination MeshObjectSet is the superset of all destination MeshObjectSets obtained if the Traversal was performed with each member of the start MeshObjectSet individually.
