27  //## of mitk::DataStorage. By combining different predicate objects, the user can form complex
28  //## queries like "give me all nodes that either contain a surface object or a binary segmentation
29  //## and that are tagged as Organtype == 'Liver'".
30  //## @warning NodePredicates are now derived from itk::Object and make thus use of the smart pointer concept.
31  //## As a result predicates should only store raw pointers because for one thing they are not owners
32  //## of these objects and should not keep them alive.
