Method Detail

getName

public java.lang.String getName()
Description copied from interface: Ontology
Return the name of this ontology

Specified by:
getName in interface Ontology
Returns:
the name of the ontology

getDescription

public java.lang.String getDescription()
Description copied from interface: Ontology
Return a human-readable description of this ontology, or the empty string if none is available

Specified by:
getDescription in interface Ontology
Returns:
the description of the term

setDescription

public void setDescription(java.lang.String description)
Description copied from interface: Ontology
set the description of this ontology

Specified by:
setDescription in interface Ontology

getTerms

public java.util.Set getTerms()
Description copied from interface: Ontology
Return all the terms in this ontology

Specified by:
getTerms in interface Ontology
Returns:
a Set of all Terms of the ontology.

getTerm

public Term getTerm(java.lang.String s)
             throws java.util.NoSuchElementException
Description copied from interface: Ontology
Fetch the term with the specified name.

Specified by:
getTerm in interface Ontology
Parameters:
s - the name of the term
Returns:
The term named name
Throws:
java.util.NoSuchElementException - if no term exists with that name

getTriples

public java.util.Set getTriples(Term subject,
                                Term object,
                                Term predicate)
Description copied from interface: Ontology
Return all triples from this ontology which match the supplied pattern. If any of the parameters of this method are null, they are treated as wildcards.

Specified by:
getTriples in interface Ontology
Parameters:
subject - The subject to search for, or null
object - The object to search for, or null
predicate - The relationship to search for, or null.
Returns:
a Set of triples

getOps

public OntologyOps getOps()
Description copied from interface: Ontology
Return the associated OntologyOps. This method should be implemented by ontology implementors to allow OntoTools to get optimized access to some usefull ontology operations. It is not intended that users will ever invoke this. A sensible dumb implementation of this would return a per-ontology instance of DefaultOps.

Specified by:
getOps in interface Ontology
Returns:
the OntologyOps instance associated with this instance.

Create a new term in this ontology.

Specified by:

Returns:
The newly created term.
Throws:
AlreadyExistsException - if a term of this name already exists
ChangeVetoException
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if either name or description is null, or violates some other constraint of this implementation.

createTerm

public Term createTerm(java.lang.String name,

                throws AlreadyExistsException,
                       ChangeVetoException,
                       java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

name - the local name to import it under, optionally null
Returns:
a Term
Throws:
ChangeVetoException
