Enum ProvenanceEdge

pub enum ProvenanceEdge {
    DerivedFrom,
    Cites,
    InfluencedBy,
}

Represents the kind of relationship between two provenance nodes.

• WHAT – An enumeration of supported edge types. Currently we support:
  • DerivedFrom – Indicates that the target was derived from the source.
  • Cites – A citation relationship.
  • InfluencedBy – Denotes influence without direct derivation.
• HOW – Used as the edge payload in the petgraph::DiGraph. The enum is #[derive(Debug, Serialize, Deserialize, Clone, Copy, PartialEq, Eq)] so it can be serialised when persisting the graph.
• WHY – Encoding edge semantics as a dedicated enum makes provenance queries expressive and type‑safe, while keeping the on‑disk representation simple (a stringified variant).

Variants

DerivedFrom

The target node was derived from the source node.

Cites

The target node cites the source node.

InfluencedBy

The target node was influenced by the source node.

Trait Implementations

impl Clone for ProvenanceEdge

fn clone(&self) -> ProvenanceEdge

Returns a copy of the value.

fn clone_from(&mut self, source: &Self)

Performs copy-assignment from source.

impl Debug for ProvenanceEdge

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'de> Deserialize<'de> for ProvenanceEdge

fn deserialize<__D>(__deserializer: __D) -> Result<Self, __D::Error>

where __D: Deserializer<'de>,

Deserialize this value from the given Serde deserializer.

impl PartialEq for ProvenanceEdge

fn eq(&self, other: &ProvenanceEdge) -> bool

Tests for self and other values to be equal, and is used by ==.

fn ne(&self, other: &Rhs) -> bool

Tests for !=. The default implementation is almost always sufficient, and should not be overridden without very good reason.

impl Serialize for ProvenanceEdge

fn serialize<__S>(&self, __serializer: __S) -> Result<__S::Ok, __S::Error>

where __S: Serializer,

Serialize this value into the given Serde serializer.

impl Copy for ProvenanceEdge

impl Eq for ProvenanceEdge

impl StructuralPartialEq for ProvenanceEdge
