Declarative

The declarative module interface defines the methods necessary to asynchronously create and encode chunktypes and chunks. It also includes methods for disposing of temporary chunks (or cleaning up chunks during model disposal), and both partial and exact search methods.

An abstract implementation is provided that handles all of the basics (including event firing) requiring implementations of the actual create, add, copy, dispose and search methods.

There are specific extension interfaces for theory revisions four and five.

The default implementation conforms to theory revision six.
