Topology Path

The Topology Path OSID provides defines a service to manage paths through a topology of nodes.

Paths

Paths are OsidRelationships with a starting an ending Node. A Path is created by adding and removing Edges.

Graph Cataloging

Paths can be organized into hierarchical OsidCatalogs of Graphs.
