/**

* Finds all mostSpecificTypes of an individual that are members of a classgroup.
|
||||
* Returns a list of type labels.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Note that the Map returned is a LinkedHashMap, which means that an iterator
|
||||
* will return the entries in the order in which the keys were inserted in the map.
|
||||
* Since the SPARQL query included an "ORDER BY ?label" clause, and since an
|
||||
* iterator through that ResultSet was used to add entries to the map, an iterator
|
||||
* on the map will return entries that are sorted by label (value, not key).
|
||||
*
|
||||
* While this sorting order is not specified as a requirement (maybe it should be?),
|
||||
* it is certainly useful that the types are returned in some order that is
|
||||
* replicable, so an individual with multiple mostSpecificTypes, will always see
|
||||
* the same list in the same order. (See https://issues.library.cornell.edu/browse/NIHVIVO-568)
