Interface Operation
- All Known Implementing Classes:
- NamedOperation,- NamespaceOperation,- StandardOperation
public interface Operation
An object that describes a dynamic operation. Dynalink defines a set of
 standard operations with the 
StandardOperation class, as well as a
 way to express the target namespace(s) of an operation
 on an object using NamespaceOperation and finally a way to attach
 a fixed target name to an operation using NamedOperation.
 When presenting examples in this documentation, we will refer to standard
 operations using their name (e.g. GET), to namespace operations
 by separating their base operation with a colon from their namespace
 (e.g. GET:PROPERTY), or in case of multiple namespaces we will
 further separate those with the vertical line character (e.g.
 GET:PROPERTY|ELEMENT), and finally we will refer to named operations
 by separating the base operation and the name with the colon character (e.g.
 GET:PROPERTY|ELEMENT:color).- Since:
