Method Detail

parseAxiom

OWLAxiom parseAxiom()
             throws ParserException

Parsing "Inline" Axioms.

Returns:

axiom

Throws:

ParserException - parsing error

parseClassExpression

OWLClassExpression parseClassExpression()
                                 throws ParserException

Parses an OWL class expression that is represented in Manchester OWL Syntax.

Returns:

The parsed class expression

Throws:

ParserException - If a class expression could not be parsed.

parseClassFrameEOF

Set<OntologyAxiomPair> parseClassFrameEOF()
                                   throws ParserException

Returns:

class frames

Throws:

ParserException - parsing error

parseLiteral

OWLLiteral parseLiteral(OWLDatatype datatype)

Parameters:

datatype - datatype to use, if one exists in the context. If null, the datatype will be decided by the literal itself.

Returns:

parsed literal

parseConstant

@Deprecated
OWLLiteral parseConstant()

Deprecated. use parseLiteral(null) to get the same result

Returns:

literal parsed

setOWLEntityChecker

void setOWLEntityChecker(OWLEntityChecker owlEntityChecker)

Parameters:

owlEntityChecker - owlEntityChecker

setOWLOntologyChecker

void setOWLOntologyChecker(OWLOntologyChecker owlOntologyChecker)

Parameters:

owlOntologyChecker - owlOntologyChecker

parseObjectPropertyChain

List<OWLObjectPropertyExpression> parseObjectPropertyChain()

Returns:

object property chain

parseOntology

ManchesterOWLSyntaxOntologyFormat parseOntology(OWLOntology ont)
                                         throws ParserException,
                                                UnloadableImportException

Parameters:

ont - ont

Parameters:

ignored - this parameter is ignored

Returns:

same result as parseClassExpressionList()

parseClassAxiom
