findByUri

Collection<Characteristic> findByUri(Collection<String> uris)

given a collection of strings that represent URI's will find all the characteristics that are used in the system with URI's matching anyone in the given collection

Parameters:

uris - uris

Returns:

characteristics

findByUri
