/**

 * This class represents a node within a {@link PolytomousKey polytomous key}

 * structure. The structure of such a key is a directed tree like acyclic graph

 * of <code>PolytomousKeyNode</code>s.

 * A <code>PolytomousKeyNode</code> represents both the node and the edges that lead

 * to <code>this</code> node, therefore an extra class representing the edges

 * does not exist.

 * <BR>

 * The attribute representing the edge leading from its parent node to <code>this</code>

 * node is the {@link #getStatement() statement}, attributes leading to the child nodes

 * are either the {@link #getQuestion() question} or the {@link #getFeature() feature}.

 * While {@link #getStatement() statements} are required, {@link #getQuestion() questions} and

 * {@link #getFeature() features} are optional and do typically not exist in classical keys.

 * Both, {@link #getQuestion() questions} and {@link #getFeature() features}, will be "answered" by the

 * {@link #getStatement() statements} of the child nodes, where {@link #getQuestion() questions}

 * are usually free text used in manually created keys while {@link #getFeature() features} are

 * typically used in automatically created keys based on structured descriptive data.

 * Only one of them should be defined in a node. However, if both exist the {@link #getQuestion() question}

 * should always be given <b>priority</b> over the {@link #getFeature() feature}.<br>

 *

 * Typically a node either links to its child nodes (subnodes) or represents a link

 * to a {@link Taxon taxon}. The later, if taken as part of the tree,  are usually

 * the leaves of the represented tree like structure (taxonomically they are the

 * end point of the decision process).<br>

 *

 * However, there are exceptions to this simple structure:

 *

 * <li>Subnodes and taxon link<br>

 *

 * In rare cases a node can have both, subnodes and a {@link #getTaxon() link to a taxon}.

 * In this case the taxonomic determination process may be either terminated

 * at the given {@link Taxon taxon} or can proceed with the children if a more accurate

 * determination is wanted. This may be the case e.g. in a key that generally

 * covers all taxa of rank species and at the same time allows identification of

 * subspecies or varieties of these taxa.</li>

 *

 * <li>{@link #getOtherNode() Other nodes}: <br>

 *

 * A node may not only link to its subnodes or to a taxon but it may

 * also link to {@link #getOtherNode() another node} (with a different parent) of either the same key

 * or another key.

 * <br>

 * <b>NOTE: </b>

 * If an {@link #getOtherNode() otherNode} represents a node

 * of the same tree the key does not represent a strict tree structure

 * anymore. However, as this is a rare case we will still use this term

 * at some places.</li>

 *

 * <li>{@link #getSubkey() Subkey}:<br>

 *

 * A node may also link to another key ({@link #getSubkey() subkey}) as a whole, which is

 * equal to an {@link #getOtherNode() otherNode} link to the root node of the other key.

 * In this case the path in the decision graph spans over multiple keys.</li>

 * This structure is typically used when a key covers taxa down to a certain rank, whereas

 * taxa below this rank are covered by extra keys (e.g. a parent key may cover all taxa

 * of rank species while subspecies and varieties are covered by a subkeys for each of these

 * species.

 * Another usecase for subkeys is the existence of an alternative key for a certain part

 * of the decision tree.

 *

 * <li>Multiple taxa<br>

 *

 * Some nodes in legacy keys do link to multiple taxa, meaning that the key ambigous at

 * this point. To represent such nodes one must use child nodes with empty

 * {@link #getStatement() statements} for each such taxon (in all other cases - except for

 * root nodes - the <code>statement</code> is required).

 * Applications that do visualize the key should handle such a node-subnode structure as one

 * node with multiple taxon links. This complicated data structure has been chosen for

 * this rare to avoid a more complicated <code>List<Taxon></code> structure for the standard

 * case.</li>

 *

 * The {@link PolytomousKey#getRoot() root node of the key} may represent the entry point

 * question or feature but does naturally neither have a statement nor a linked taxon as

 * there is no prior decision yet.

 *

 * <h4>Notes</h4>

 * <p>

 * A polytomous key node can be referenced from multiple other nodes via the

 * {@link #getOtherNode() otherNode} attribute of the other nodes. Therefore, though

 * we speek about a "decision tree" structure a node does not necessarily have only

 * one parent.

 * However, nodes are mainly represented in a tree structure and therefore do have

 * a defined {@link #getParent() parent} which is the "main" parent. But when implementing

 * visualizing or editing tools one should keep in mind that this parent may not be

 * the only node linking the child node.
