- Method Detail
  - consumeIdentifier
```
void consumeIdentifier(String identifier,
                       boolean isBase,
                       boolean isTerminal)
```
    Responsible for consuming each part of the path. Called sequentially for each part.
    
    Parameters:
    
    identifier - The current part of the path being processed
    
    isBase - Is this the base of the path (the first token)?
    
    isTerminal - Is this the terminus of the path (last token)?
  - consumeTreat
```
void consumeTreat(String entityName,
                  boolean isTerminal)
```
    Responsible for consuming each part of the path. Called sequentially for each part.
    
    Parameters:
    
    entityName - The treat target entity name
    
    isTerminal - Is this the terminus of the path (last token)?
  - getConsumedPart
```
SemanticPathPart getConsumedPart()
```
    Get the currently consumed part. Generally called after the whole path has been processed at which point this will return the final outcome of the consumption
