StructuralReasonerFactory

public StructuralReasonerFactory()

Method Detail

getReasonerName

public java.lang.String getReasonerName()

Description copied from interface: OWLReasonerFactory

Gets the name of the reasoner created by this factory.

Specified by:

getReasonerName in interface OWLReasonerFactory

Returns:

A string that represents the name of the reasoner created by this factory.

createNonBufferingReasoner

public OWLReasoner createNonBufferingReasoner(OWLOntology ontology)

Description copied from interface: OWLReasonerFactory

Creates an OWLReasoner that reasons over the imports closure of the specified ontology. The reasoner will obtain the imports closure from the ontology manager associated with ontology. The reasoner will listen for ontology changes to the ontologies that it is reasoning over and will always answer queries with respect to the changed ontologies (see OWLReasoner for further details).

Specified by:

createNonBufferingReasoner in interface OWLReasonerFactory

Parameters:

ontology - The ontology whose imports closure will be reasoned over by the reasoner that is created.

Returns:

The reasoner that reasons over the imports closure of the specified ontology. Note that calling this method multiple times with the same manager and ontology will return fresh instances of OWLReasoner.

createReasoner

public OWLReasoner createReasoner(OWLOntology ontology)

Description copied from interface: OWLReasonerFactory

Creates a buffering reasoner that reasons over the imports closure of the specified ontology. The reasoner will obtain the imports closure from the ontology manager associated with ontology. The reasoner will listen for ontology changes to the ontologies it is reasoning over but will only answer queries with respect to the changed ontologies when the OWLReasoner.flush() method is called (see OWLReasoner for further details).

Specified by:

createReasoner in interface OWLReasonerFactory

Parameters:

ontology - The ontology whose imports closure will be reasoned over by the reasoner that is created.

Returns:

The reasoner that reasons over the imports closure of the specified ontology. Note that calling this method multiple times with the same manager and ontology will return fresh instances of OWLReasoner.

createNonBufferingReasoner

public OWLReasoner createNonBufferingReasoner(OWLOntology ontology,
                                              OWLReasonerConfiguration config)
                                       throws IllegalConfigurationException

Description copied from interface: OWLReasonerFactory

Creates an OWLReasoner that reasons over the imports closure of the specified ontology. The reasoner will obtain the imports closure from the ontology manager associated with ontology. The reasoner will listen for ontology changes to the ontologies that it is reasoning over and will always answer queries with respect to the changed ontologies (see OWLReasoner for further details).

Specified by:

createNonBufferingReasoner in interface OWLReasonerFactory

Parameters:

ontology - The ontology whose imports closure will be reasoned over by the reasoner that is created.

config - A configuration object that can be used to customise the setup of the reasoner that will be created by calling this method.

Returns:

The reasoner that reasons over the imports closure of the specified ontology. Note that calling this method multiple times with the same manager and ontology will return fresh instances of OWLReasoner.

Throws:

IllegalConfigurationException - if the configuration object is inappropriate for reasoners created by this factory, or if there is an illegal setting on the configuration.

createReasoner

public OWLReasoner createReasoner(OWLOntology ontology,
                                  OWLReasonerConfiguration config)
                           throws IllegalConfigurationException

Description copied from interface: OWLReasonerFactory

Creates a buffering reasoner that reasons over the imports closure of the specified ontology. The reasoner will obtain the imports closure from the ontology manager associated with ontology. The reasoner will listen for ontology changes to the ontologies it is reasoning over but will only answer queries with respect to the changed ontologies when the OWLReasoner.flush() method is called (see OWLReasoner for further details).

Specified by:

createReasoner in interface OWLReasonerFactory

Parameters:

ontology - The ontology whose imports closure will be reasoned over by the reasoner that is created.

config - A configuration object that can be used to customise the setup of the reasoner that will be created by calling this method.

Returns:

The reasoner that reasons over the imports closure of the specified ontology. Note that calling this method multiple times with the same manager and ontology will return fresh instances of OWLReasoner.

Throws:

IllegalConfigurationException - if the configuration object is inappropriate for reasoners created by this factory, or if there is an illegal setting on the configuration.
