public boolean equalShallow(DataObject dataObject1, DataObject dataObject2)
Two DataObjects are equalShallow if
they have the same Type
and all their compared Properties are equal.
The set of Properties compared are the
instance properties
where property.getType().isDataType() is true
and property.getType() is not ChangeSummaryType.
Two of these Property values are equal if they are both not
set
, or set to an equal value
dataObject1.get(property).equals(dataObject2.get(property))
If the type is a sequenced type, the sequence entries must be the same.
For each entry x in the sequence where the property is used in the comparison,
dataObject1.getSequence().getValue(x).equals(
dataObject2.getSequence().getValue(x)) and
dataObject1.getSequence().getProperty(x) ==
dataObject2.getSequence().getProperty(x)
must be true.

public boolean equal(DataObject dataObject1, DataObject dataObject2)
Two DataObjects are equal(Deep) if they are equalShallow,
all their compared Properties are equal, and all reachable DataObjects in their
graphs excluding containers are equal.
The set of Properties compared are the
instance properties
where property.getType().isDataType() is false,
and is not a container property, ie !property.getOpposite().isContainment()
Two of these Property values are equal if they are both not
set
, or all the DataObjects
they refer to are equal
in the
context of dataObject1 and dataObject2.
Note that properties to a containing DataObject are not compared
which means two DataObject trees can be equal even if their containers are not equal.
If the type is a sequenced type, the sequence entries must be the same.
For each entry x in the sequence where the property is used in the comparison,
equal(dataObject1.getSequence().getValue(x),
dataObject2.getSequence().getValue(x)) and
dataObject1.getSequence().getProperty(x) == dataObject2.getSequence().getProperty(x)
must be true.
A DataObject directly or indirectly referenced by dataObject1 or dataObject2 can only be equal to exactly one DataObject directly or indirectly referenced by dataObject1 or dataObject2, respectively. This ensures that dataObject1 and dataObject2 are equal if the graph formed by all their referenced DataObjects have the same shape.
Returns true if the trees of DataObjects are equal(Deep).
