Method Detail

setOWLOntologyManager

public void setOWLOntologyManager(OWLOntologyManager owlOntologyManager)

Description copied from interface: OWLParser

Sets the OWLOntologyManager which should be used to load imports etc.

Specified by:

setOWLOntologyManager in interface OWLParser

getOWLOntologyManager

public OWLOntologyManager getOWLOntologyManager()

getRequestTypes

protected java.lang.String getRequestTypes()

getInputStream

protected java.io.InputStream getInputStream(IRI documentIRI)
                                      throws java.io.IOException

A convenience method that obtains an input stream from a URI. This method sets up the correct request type and wraps the input stream within a buffered input stream

Parameters:

documentIRI - The URI from which the input stream should be returned

Returns:

The input stream obtained from the URI

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if there was an IOException in obtaining the input stream from the URI.

getInputSource

protected org.xml.sax.InputSource getInputSource(OWLOntologyDocumentSource documentSource)
                                          throws java.io.IOException

Throws:

java.io.IOException

parse

public OWLOntologyFormat parse(IRI documentIRI,
                               OWLOntology ontology)
                        throws OWLParserException,
                               java.io.IOException,
                               UnloadableImportException

Description copied from interface: OWLParser

Parses the ontology that has a concrete representation which is pointed to by the specified document IRI. Implementors of this method should load any imported ontologies with the loadImports method on OWLOntologyManager.

Specified by:

parse in interface OWLParser

Parameters:

documentIRI - The document IRI where the ontology should be loaded from

ontology - The ontology that the concrete representation should be parsed into. @return An OWLOntologyFormat which describes the concrete representation format which was parsed to obtain the ontology. This will never be null.

Returns:

The format of the ontology

Throws:

OWLParserException - if there was a problem parsing the ontology. This indicates an error in the syntax with this ontology document that the parser reads.

java.io.IOException - if there was an IOException during parsing

UnloadableImportException - if loading this ontology prompted the loading of an import and the import could not be loaded.
