```
public class AbstractIdentifiedObject
extends Formattable
implements IdentifiedObject, Serializable
```
A base class for metadata applicable to reference system objects. When AuthorityFactory is used to create an object, the authority and authority code values are set to the authority name of the factory object, and the authority code supplied by the client, respectively. When ObjectFactory creates an object, the name is set to the value supplied by the client and all of the other metadata items are left empty.
This class is conceptually abstract, even if it is technically possible to instantiate it. Typical applications should create instances of the most specific subclass with Default prefix instead. An exception to this rule may occurs when it is not possible to identify the exact type. For example it is not possible to infer the exact coordinate system from Well Known Text is some cases (e.g. in a LOCAL_CS element). In such exceptional situation, a plain AbstractCS object may be instantiated.

Constructor Detail

AbstractIdentifiedObject
```
public AbstractIdentifiedObject(IdentifiedObject object)
```
Constructs a new identified object with the same values than the specified one. This copy constructor provides a way to wrap an arbitrary implementation into a Geotools one or a user-defined one (as a subclass), usually in order to leverage some implementation-specific API. This constructor performs a shallow copy, i.e. the properties are not cloned.

Parameters:

object - The object to copy.

AbstractIdentifiedObject

public AbstractIdentifiedObject(Map<String,?> properties)
                         throws IllegalArgumentException

Constructs an object from a set of properties. Keys are strings from the table below. Key are case-insensitive, and leading and trailing spaces are ignored. The map given in argument shall contains at least a "name" property. Other properties listed in the table below are optional.

Property name	Value type	Value given to
"name"	`String` or `ReferenceIdentifier`	`getName()`
"alias"	`String`, `String[]`, `GenericName` or `GenericName[]`	`getAlias()`
"authority"	`String` or `Citation`	`Identifier.getAuthority()` on the name
"codespace"	`String`	`ReferenceIdentifier.getCodeSpace()` on the name
"version"	`String`	`ReferenceIdentifier.getVersion()` on the name
"identifiers"	`ReferenceIdentifier` or `ReferenceIdentifier[]`	`getIdentifiers()`
"remarks"	`String` or `InternationalString`	`getRemarks()`

Additionally, all localizable attributes like "remarks" may have a language and country code suffix. For example the "remarks_fr" property stands for remarks in French and the "remarks_fr_CA" property stands for remarks in French Canadian.

Note that the "authority" and "version" properties are ignored if the "name" property is already a Citation object instead of a String.

Parameters:: properties - The properties to be given to this identified object.
Throws:: InvalidParameterValueException - if a property has an invalid value.; IllegalArgumentException - if a property is invalid for some other reason.

AbstractIdentifiedObject
```
protected AbstractIdentifiedObject(Map<String,?> properties,
                                   Map<String,Object> subProperties,
                                   String[] localizables)
                            throws IllegalArgumentException
```
Constructs an object from a set of properties and copy unrecognized properties in the specified map. The properties argument is treated as in the one argument constructor. All properties unknow to this AbstractIdentifiedObject constructor are copied in the subProperties map, after their key has been normalized (usually lower case, leading and trailing space removed).
If localizables is non-null, then all keys listed in this argument are treated as localizable one (i.e. may have a suffix like "_fr", "_de", etc.). Localizable properties are stored in the subProperties map as InternationalString objects.

Parameters:

properties - Set of properties. Should contains at least "name".

subProperties - The map in which to copy unrecognized properties.

localizables - Optional list of localized properties.

Throws:

InvalidParameterValueException - if a property has an invalid value.

IllegalArgumentException - if a property is invalid for some other reason.

```
  Comments on or information about this object, including data source information.
  
  Specified by:
  
  getRemarks in interface IdentifiedObject
  
  Returns:
  
  The remarks, or null if none.
- getProperties
```
public static Map<String,?> getProperties(IdentifiedObject info)
```
  Returns the informations provided in the specified indentified object as a map of properties. The returned map contains key such as NAME_KEY, and values from methods such as getName().
  
  Parameters:
  
  info - The identified object to view as a properties map.
  
  Returns:
  
  An view of the identified object as an immutable map.
- getProperties
```
public static Map<String,Object> getProperties(IdentifiedObject info,
                                               Citation authority)
```
  Returns the properties to be given to an identified object derived from the specified one. This method is typically used for creating a new CRS identical to an existing one except for axis units. This method returns the same properties than the supplied argument (as of getProperties(info)), except for the following:
  - The name's authority is replaced by the specified one.
  - All identifiers are removed, because the new object to be created is probably not endorsed by the original authority.
  This method returns a mutable map. Consequently, callers can add their own identifiers directly to this map if they wish.
  Parameters:
  
  info - The identified object to view as a properties map.
  
  authority - The new authority for the object to be created, or null if it is not going to have any declared authority.
  
  Returns:
  
  An view of the identified object as a mutable map.
- getIdentifier
```
public ReferenceIdentifier getIdentifier(Citation authority)
```
  Returns an identifier according the given authority. This method first checks all identifiers in their iteration order. It returns the first identifier with an authority citation matching the specified authority.
  
  Parameters:
  
  authority - The authority for the identifier to return, or null for the first identifier regarless its authority.
  
  Returns:
  
  The object's identifier, or null if no identifier matching the specified authority was found.
  
  Since:
  
  2.2
- getIdentifier
```
public static ReferenceIdentifier getIdentifier(IdentifiedObject info,
                                                Citation authority)
```
  Returns an identifier according the given authority. This method performs the same search than getIdentifier(Citation) on arbitrary implementations of GeoAPI interface.
  
  Parameters:
  
  info - The object to get the identifier from.
  
  authority - The authority for the identifier to return, or null for the first identifier regarless its authority.
  
  Returns:
  
  The object's identifier, or null if no identifier matching the specified authority was found.
  
  Since:
  
  2.2
- getName
```
public String getName(Citation authority)
```
  Returns this object's name according the given authority. This method checks first the primary name, then all alias in their iteration order.
  - If the name or alias implements the ReferenceIdentifier interface, then this method compares the identifier authority against the specified citation using the identifierMatches method. If a matching is found, then this method returns the identifier code of this object.
  - Otherwise, if the alias implements the GenericName interface, then this method compares the name scope against the specified citation using the identifierMatches method. If a matching is found, then this method returns the local name of this object.
  Note that alias may implement both the ReferenceIdentifier and GenericName interfaces (for example NamedIdentifier). In such cases, the identifier view has precedence.
  Parameters:
  
  authority - The authority for the name to return.
  
  Returns:
  
  The object's name (either a code or a local name), or null if no name matching the specified authority was found.

- getName
```
public static String getName(IdentifiedObject info,
                             Citation authority)
```
  Returns an object's name according the given authority. This method performs the same search than getName(Citation) on arbitrary implementations of GeoAPI interface.
  
  Parameters:
  
  info - The object to get the name from.
  
  authority - The authority for the name to return.
  
  Returns:
  
  The object's name (either a code or a local name), or null if no name matching the specified authority was found.
  
  Since:
  
  2.2
- nameMatches
```
public boolean nameMatches(String name)
```
  Returns true if either the primary name or at least one alias matches the specified string. This method performs the search in the following order, regardless of any authority:
  - The primary name of this object
  - The fully qualified name of an alias
  - The local name of an alias
  Parameters:
  
  name - The name to compare.
  
  Returns:
  
  true if the primary name of at least one alias matches the specified name.
- nameMatches
```
public static boolean nameMatches(IdentifiedObject object,
                                  String name)
```
  Returns true if either the primary name or at least one alias matches the specified string. This method performs the same check than the non-static method on arbitrary object implementing the GeoAPI interface.
  
  Parameters:
  
  object - The object to check.
  
  name - The name.
  
  Returns:
  
  true if the primary name of at least one alias matches the specified name.

public static boolean nameMatches(IdentifiedObject o1,
                                  IdentifiedObject o2)
```
  Returns true if the primary name of an object matches the primary name of one alias of the other object.
  
  Parameters:
  
  o1 - The first object to compare by name.
  
  o2 - The second object to compare by name.
  
  Returns:
  
  true if both objects have a common name.

- equals
```
public final boolean equals(Object object)
```
  Compares the specified object with this object for equality.
  
  Overrides:
  
  equals in class Object
  
  Parameters:
  
  object - The other object (may be null).
  
  Returns:
  
  true if both objects are equal.
- equals
```
public boolean equals(AbstractIdentifiedObject object,
                      boolean compareMetadata)
```
  Compares this object with the specified object for equality.
  If compareMetadata is true, then all available properties are compared including name, remarks, identifiers code, etc.
  If compareMetadata is false, then this method compare only the properties needed for computing transformations. In other words, sourceCS.equals(targetCS, false) returns true only if the transformation from sourceCS to targetCS is the identity transform, no matter what getName() saids.
  Some subclasses (especially AbstractDatum and AbstractParameterDescriptor) will test for the name, since objects with different name have completly different meaning. For example nothing differentiate the "semi_major" and "semi_minor" parameters except the name. The name comparaison may be loose however, i.e. we may accept a name matching an alias.
  
  Parameters:
  
  object - The object to compare to this.
  
  compareMetadata - true for performing a strict comparaison, or false for comparing only properties relevant to transformations.
  
  Returns:
  
  true if both objects are equal.

  Overrides:
  
  hashCode in class Object
  
  Returns:
