public PrefixOWLOntologyFormat()

Method Detail

setPrefix

public void setPrefix(java.lang.String prefixName,
                      java.lang.String prefix)

A convenience method to add a prefix name to prefix mapping

Parameters:

prefixName - The prefix name which maps to a prefix

prefix - The prefix

clearPrefixes

public void clearPrefixes()

Clears any previously set prefixes

copyPrefixesFrom

public void copyPrefixesFrom(PrefixOWLOntologyFormat fromFormat)

Copies the prefix from another ontology format into this format

Parameters:

fromFormat - The format that the prefixes should be copied from

getPrefixNames

public java.util.Set<java.lang.String> getPrefixNames()

Gets the prefix names that have a mapping in this prefix manager

Specified by:

getPrefixNames in interface PrefixManager

Returns:

A set of string representing the prefix names

setDefaultPrefix

public void setDefaultPrefix(java.lang.String namespace)

Sets the default namespace. This is equivalent to adding mapping from the empty string prefix to a namespace.

Parameters:

namespace - The namespace to be set.

containsPrefixMapping

public boolean containsPrefixMapping(java.lang.String prefix)

Description copied from interface: PrefixManager

Determines if this manager knows about a given prefix name and it contains a (non-null) mapping for the prefix.

Specified by:

containsPrefixMapping in interface PrefixManager

Parameters:

prefix - The prefix name to be tested for.

Returns:

true if the manager knows about this prefix and there is a non-null mapping for this prefix.

getDefaultPrefix

public java.lang.String getDefaultPrefix()

Description copied from interface: PrefixManager

Gets the default prefix. The default prefix is denoted by the prefix name ":"

Specified by:

getDefaultPrefix in interface PrefixManager

Returns:

The default prefix, or null if there is no default prefix.

getPrefixName2PrefixMap

public java.util.Map<java.lang.String,java.lang.String> getPrefixName2PrefixMap()

Description copied from interface: PrefixManager

Gets a map that maps prefix names to prefixes.

Specified by:

getPrefixName2PrefixMap in interface PrefixManager

Returns:

The map of prefix names to prefixes. Note that modifying the contents of this map will not change the prefix name - prefix mappings

getPrefix

public java.lang.String getPrefix(java.lang.String prefix)

Description copied from interface: PrefixManager

Gets the prefix that is bound to a particular prefix name. Note that specifying ":" corresponds to requesting the default prefix and will return the same result as a call to the getDefaultPrefix() method.

Specified by:

getPrefix in interface PrefixManager

Parameters:

prefix - The prefix name. A string that represents a prefix name of the prefix to be retrieved. Note that specifying ":" is the same as asking for the default prefix (see the getDefaultPrefix() method).

Returns:

The prefix, or null if there is no prefix name bound to this prefix, or the prefix name doesn't exist.

getIRI

public IRI getIRI(java.lang.String iri)

Description copied from interface: PrefixManager

Gets the URI for a given prefix IRI. The prefix IRI must have a prefix name that is registered with this manager, or a runtime exception will be thrown.

Specified by:

getIRI in interface PrefixManager

Parameters:

iri - The Prefix IRI

Returns:

The full IRI.

getPrefixIRI

public java.lang.String getPrefixIRI(IRI iri)

Description copied from interface: PrefixManager

Gets the prefix IRI given a IRI (URI).

Specified by:

getPrefixIRI in interface PrefixManager

Parameters:

iri - The IRI whose prefix it to be retrieved

Returns:

The prefix IRI for this IRI, or null if a prefix IRI cannot be generated.
