Method Detail

getBuiltInDatatype

OWL2Datatype getBuiltInDatatype()

Gets the built in datatype information if this datatype is a built in datatype. This method should only be called if the isBuiltIn() method returns true

Returns:

The OWLDatatypeVocabulary that describes this built in datatype

Throws:

OWLRuntimeException - if this datatype is not a built in datatype.

isString

boolean isString()

Determines if this datatype has the IRI xsd:string

Returns:

true if this datatype has the IRI xsd:string, otherwise false.

isInteger

boolean isInteger()

Determines if this datatype has the IRI xsd:integer

Returns:

true if this datatype has the IRI xsd:integer, otherwise false.

isFloat

boolean isFloat()

Determines if this datatype has the IRI xsd:float

Returns:

true if this datatype has the IRI xsd:float, otherwise false.

isDouble

boolean isDouble()

Determines if this datatype has the IRI xsd:double

Returns:

true if this datatype has the IRI xsd:double, otherwise false.

isBoolean

boolean isBoolean()

Determines if this datatype has the IRI xsd:boolean

Returns:

true if this datatype has the IRI xsd:boolean, otherwise false.

isRDFPlainLiteral

boolean isRDFPlainLiteral()

Determines if this datatype has the IRI rdf:PlainLiteral

Returns:

true if this datatype has the IRI rdf:PlainLiteral otherwise false
