[Biojava-dev] Flyweight Ontologies?

[Schreiber, Mark]

Hi -
 
Just looking at some serialization bug fixes and I have a question about Ontologies. Should they be flyweight objects?
 
The reason I ask is Ontology.Impl is serializable but doesn't attempt to prevent deep copying. However the Term.Impl equals() methods asks if the two Ontologies are canonical with an == operator.
 
One of these needs to be changed.
