addlistener - addlistener Add listener for event.

el = addlistener(hSource, Eventname, callbackFcn) creates a listener
    for the event named Eventname.  The source of the event is the handle 
    object hSource.  If hSource is an array of source handles, the listener
    responds to the named event on any handle in the array.  callbackFcn
    is a function handle that is invoked when the event is triggered.

    el = addlistener(hSource, PropName, Eventname, Callback) adds a 
    listener for a property event.  Eventname must be one of
    'PreGet', 'PostGet', 'PreSet', or 'PostSet'. Eventname can be
    a string scalar or character vector.  PropName must be a single 
    property name specified as string scalar or character vector, or a 
    collection of property names specified as a cell array of character 
    vectors or a string array, or as an array of one or more 
    matlab.metadata.Property objects.  The properties must belong to the 
    class of hSource.  If hSource is scalar, PropName can include dynamic 
    properties.

    For all forms, addlistener returns an event.listener.  To remove a
    listener, delete the object returned by addlistener.  For example,
    delete(el) calls the handle class delete method to remove the listener
    and delete it from the workspace.

    addlistener binds the listener's lifecycle to the object that is the 
    source of the event.  Unless you explicitly delete the listener, it is
    destroyed only when the source object is destroyed.  To control the
    lifecycle of the listener independently from the event source object, 
    use listener or the event.listener constructor to create the listener.

createOntologyTableRowDoc - CREATEONTOLOGYTABLEROWDOC Creates a single NDI 'ontologyTableRow' document for a row of table data.

DOC = CREATEONTOLOGYTABLEROWDOC(OBJ, TABLEROW, IDENTIFYINGVARIABLES, OPTIONS)

    This method constructs an NDI document that links the data fields
    from a single table row to ontology terms. The mapping from the
    table's variable names (column headers) to ontology term identifiers
    (e.g., "PREFIX:TermNameOrID") is performed using the 'obj.variableMapStruct'
    loaded during the tableDocMaker's construction. Full ontology term
    details (ID, name, prefix, shortName/codeName) are retrieved using
    ndi.ontology.lookup.

    The created NDI document is of type 'ontologyTableRow' and contains:
      - 'names': A comma-separated string of full ontology term names.
      - 'variableNames': A comma-separated string of full short/code names.
      - 'ontologyNodes': A comma-separated string of full ontology IDs (e.g., "PREFIX:ID").
      - 'data': A struct where field names are the 'variableNames' (shortName)
                obtained from the ontology lookup, and values are the
                corresponding data from the input 'tableRow'.

    Inputs:
        obj: An instance of the tableDocMaker class. It must have the
                  'variableMapStruct' property initialized, mapping table variable
                  names to ontology term identifiers, and a valid 'session' property.
        tableRow: A 1xN MATLAB table representing a single row of data.
                  The variable names (column headers) of this table are used
                  for mapping to ontology terms.
        identifyingVariables: A string, char array, or cellstr array of
                  variable names present in 'tableRow'. These variables
                  and their corresponding values in 'tableRow' are used
                  to query for an existing 'ontologyTableRow' document.
                  The combination of these variable values should
                  form a unique identifier for the row's data context.

    Optional Name-Value Arguments:
        Overwrite: Controls behavior if a document matching the 'identifyingVariables' is found:
                    - true: The existing document is removed, and a new one is created.
                    - false (default): The existing document is returned, and no
                                            new document is created.
        OldDocs: A cell array of existing documents in the database that match
                 the identifiying variables of the current document. Depending on the behavior
                 of Overwrite, the OldDocs will be returned or overwritten. Passing this argument
                 speeds up processing by reducing calls to the database.

    Outputs:
        doc: The NDI document object (ndi.document) of type 'ontologyTableRow'.
             This will be the newly created document or the existing document
             if found and 'options.Overwrite' is false.
        inDatabase: Flag reporting whether the document already
             exists in the database and Overwrite is false.

delete - DELETE Delete a handle object.

DELETE(H) deletes all handle objects in array H. After the delete 
    function call, H is an array of invalid objects.

eq - == (EQ) Test handle equality.

Handles are equal if they are handles for the same object.

    H1 == H2 performs element-wise comparisons between handle arrays H1 and
    H2.  H1 and H2 must be of the same dimensions unless one is a scalar.
    The result is a logical array of the same dimensions, where each
    element is an element-wise equality result.

    If one of H1 or H2 is scalar, scalar expansion is performed and the 
    result will match the dimensions of the array that is not scalar.

    TF = EQ(H1, H2) stores the result in a logical array of the same 
    dimensions.

findobj - FINDOBJ Find objects matching specified conditions.

The FINDOBJ method of the HANDLE class follows the same syntax as the 
    MATLAB FINDOBJ command, except that the first argument must be an array
    of handles to objects.

    HM = FINDOBJ(H, <conditions>) searches the handle object array H and 
    returns an array of handle objects matching the specified conditions.
    Only the public members of the objects of H are considered when 
    evaluating the conditions.

findprop - findprop Find property of MATLAB handle object.

p = findprop(H,PropName) finds and returns the matlab.metadata.Property 
    object associated with property name PropName of scalar handle object H.
    PropName can be a string scalar or character vector.  It can be the 
    name of a property defined by the class of H or a dynamic property 
    added to scalar object H.

    If no property named PropName exists for object H, an empty 
    matlab.metadata.Property array is returned.

ge - >= (GE) Greater than or equal relation for handles.

H1 >= H2 performs element-wise comparisons between handle arrays H1 and
    H2.  H1 and H2 must be of the same dimensions unless one is a scalar.
    The result is a logical array of the same dimensions, where each
    element is an element-wise >= result.

    If one of H1 or H2 is scalar, scalar expansion is performed and the 
    result will match the dimensions of the array that is not scalar.

    TF = GE(H1, H2) stores the result in a logical array of the same

gt - > (GT) Greater than relation for handles.

H1 > H2 performs element-wise comparisons between handle arrays H1 and 
    H2.  H1 and H2 must be of the same dimensions unless one is a scalar.  
    The result is a logical array of the same dimensions, where each
    element is an element-wise > result.

    If one of H1 or H2 is scalar, scalar expansion is performed and the

isvalid - ISVALID Test handle validity.

TF = ISVALID(H) performs an element-wise check for validity on the 
    handle elements of H.  The result is a logical array of the same 
    dimensions as H, where each element is the element-wise validity 
    result.

    A handle is invalid if it has been deleted or if it is an element
    of a handle array and has not yet been initialized.

le - <= (LE) Less than or equal relation for handles.

Handles are equal if they are handles for the same object.  All 
    comparisons use a number associated with each handle object.  Nothing
    can be assumed about the result of a handle comparison except that the
    repeated comparison of two handles in the same MATLAB session will 
    yield the same result.  The order of handle values is purely arbitrary 
    and has no connection to the state of the handle objects being 
    compared.

    H1 <= H2 performs element-wise comparisons between handle arrays H1 and
    H2.  H1 and H2 must be of the same dimensions unless one is a scalar.
    The result is a logical array of the same dimensions, where each
    element is an element-wise >= result.

    If one of H1 or H2 is scalar, scalar expansion is performed and the 
    result will match the dimensions of the array that is not scalar.

    TF = LE(H1, H2) stores the result in a logical array of the same 
    dimensions.

listener - listener Add listener for event without binding the listener to the source object.

el = listener(hSource, Eventname, callbackFcn) creates a listener
    for the event named Eventname.  The source of the event is the handle  
    object hSource.  If hSource is an array of source handles, the listener
    responds to the named event on any handle in the array.  callbackFcn
    is a function handle that is invoked when the event is triggered.

    el = listener(hSource, PropName, Eventname, callback) adds a 
    listener for a property event.  Eventname must be one of  
    'PreGet', 'PostGet', 'PreSet', or 'PostSet'. Eventname can be a 
    string sclar or character vector.  PropName must be either a single 
    property name specified as a string scalar or character vector, or 
    a collection of property names specified as a cell array of character 
    vectors or a string array, or as an array of one ore more 
    matlab.metadata.Property objects. The properties must belong to the 
    class of hSource.  If hSource is scalar, PropName can include dynamic 
    properties.

    For all forms, listener returns an event.listener.  To remove a
    listener, delete the object returned by listener.  For example,
    delete(el) calls the handle class delete method to remove the listener
    and delete it from the workspace.  Calling delete(el) on the listener
    object deletes the listener, which means the event no longer causes
    the callback function to execute. 

    listener does not bind the listener's lifecycle to the object that is
    the source of the event.  Destroying the source object does not impact
    the lifecycle of the listener object.  A listener created with listener
    must be destroyed independently of the source object.  Calling 
    delete(el) explicitly destroys the listener. Redefining or clearing 
    the variable containing the listener can delete the listener if no 
    other references to it exist.  To tie the lifecycle of the listener to 
    the lifecycle of the source object, use addlistener.

lt - < (LT) Less than relation for handles.

H1 < H2 performs element-wise comparisons between handle arrays H1 and
    H2.  H1 and H2 must be of the same dimensions unless one is a scalar.
    The result is a logical array of the same dimensions, where each
    element is an element-wise < result.

    If one of H1 or H2 is scalar, scalar expansion is performed and the

ne - ~= (NE) Not equal relation for handles.

Handles are equal if they are handles for the same object and are 
    unequal otherwise.

    H1 ~= H2 performs element-wise comparisons between handle arrays H1 
    and H2.  H1 and H2 must be of the same dimensions unless one is a 
    scalar.  The result is a logical array of the same dimensions, where 
    each element is an element-wise equality result.

notify - NOTIFY Notify listeners of event.

NOTIFY(H, eventname) notifies listeners added to the event named 
    eventname for handle object array H that the event is taking place. 
    eventname can be a string scalar or character vector.  
    H is the array of handles to the event source objects, and 'eventname'
    must be a character vector.

    NOTIFY(H,eventname,ed) provides a way of encapsulating information 
    about an event which can then be accessed by each registered listener.
    ed must belong to the EVENT.EVENTDATA class.

table2ontologyTableRowDocs - TABLE2ONTOLOGYTABLEROWDOCS Converts each row in a table into an NDI 'ontologyTableRow' document.

DOCS = TABLE2ONTOLOGYTABLEROWDOCS(OBJ, DATATABLE, IDENTIFYINGVARIABLES, OPTIONS)

    This method iterates through each row of the input 'dataTable'.
    For each row, it calls `obj.createOntologyTableRowDoc` to generate
    an NDI document of type 'ontologyTableRow'. The resulting documents
    are collected into a cell array.

    Inputs:
        obj: An instance of the tableDocMaker class.
        dataTable: A MATLAB table. Each row will be processed to create
                   an 'ontologyTableRow' document.
        identifyingVariables: A string, char array, or cellstr array of
                   variable names present in 'dataTable'. This is
                   passed directly to `createOntologyTableRowDoc`
                   for each row to identify potentially existing documents.
    Optional Name-Value Arguments:
        Overwrite: Flag passed directly to `createOntologyTableRowDoc`.
                   Controls whether existing documents matching the
                   'identifyingVariables' for a given row should be
                   overwritten. Default: false.

    Outputs:
        docs: A cell array with the same number of rows as 'dataTable'.
              Each cell contains the NDI document object (ndi.document)
              created by `createOntologyTableRowDoc` for the corresponding row.

tableDocMaker - TABLEDOCMAKER Constructor for this class.

Initializes the tableDocMaker by loading a variable-to-ontology
    mapping dictionary file specific to the given labName and associating
    it with the provided NDI session.

    Inputs:
        session: An NDI session object (e.g., an instance of
                 ndi.session.dir or ndi.database.dir).
        labName: A character vector specifying the name of the lab.
                 This is used to locate the ontology mapping dictionary file
                 (e.g., 'labName_tableDoc_dictionary.json')
                 in the 'NDI-MATLAB/+ndi/+setup/+conv/+labName' folder.

    Outputs:
        obj: An instance of the tableDocMaker class.

    Example:
        session = ndi.session.dir('/path/to/my/session');
        labName = 'myLab';
        docMaker = ndi.setup.NDIMaker.tableDocMaker(session, labName);
