public interface DefinitionsReader
Definition from a source.
This interface provides a standard way to read
objects from a source. Implementations
should define what the source is, whether it be a persistent store such as a
configuration file or database, or something like a web service. The
DefinitionsReader is responsible for reading from a single location. It does
not perform any internationalization duties or inheritance of Definitions.
It only reads from the source and returns a Map of objects read.Definition
