Represents a DataRange in the OWL 2 Specification.

A high level interface which represents a data range. Example of data ranges are datatypes (e.g. int, float, double, string, ...), complements of data ranges (e.g. not(int)), data enumerations (data oneOfs), datatype restrictions (e.g. int > 3).

Method Summary

void	accept(OWLDataRangeVisitor visitor)
<O> O	accept(OWLDataRangeVisitorEx<O> visitor)
void	accept(OWLDataVisitor visitor)
<O> O	accept(OWLDataVisitorEx<O> visitor)
OWLDatatype	asOWLDatatype() If this data range is a datatype then this method may be used to obtain it as a datatype (rather than using an explicit cast).
DataRangeType	getDataRangeType() Gets the type of this data range
boolean	isDatatype() Determines if this data range is a datatype (int, float, ...)
boolean	isTopDatatype() Determines if this data range is the top data type.

Method Detail

isDatatype

boolean isDatatype()

Determines if this data range is a datatype (int, float, ...)

Returns:

true if this datarange is a datatype, or false if it is not a datatype and is some other data range such as a data range restriction, data oneOf or data complementOf.

isTopDatatype

boolean isTopDatatype()

Determines if this data range is the top data type.

Returns:

true if this data range is the top datatype otherwise false

asOWLDatatype

OWLDatatype asOWLDatatype()

If this data range is a datatype then this method may be used to obtain it as a datatype (rather than using an explicit cast).

Returns:

This data range as an OWLDatatype

getDataRangeType

DataRangeType getDataRangeType()

Gets the type of this data range

Returns:

The data range type
