Method Detail

loadOWLOntology

public OWLOntology loadOWLOntology(OWLOntologyDocumentSource documentSource,
                                   OWLOntologyFactory.OWLOntologyCreationHandler mediator)
                            throws OWLOntologyCreationException

Description copied from interface: OWLOntologyFactory

Creates and loads an OWLOntology.

Parameters:

documentSource - The document source that provides the means of getting a representation of a document.

mediator - A pointer to an OWLOntologyCreationHandler which will be notified immediately after an empty ontology has been created, but before the source data is read and the ontology is loaded with axioms.

Returns:

The newly created and loaded ontology

Throws:

OWLOntologyCreationException - if the ontology could not be created.

loadOWLOntology

public OWLOntology loadOWLOntology(OWLOntologyDocumentSource documentSource,
                                   OWLOntologyFactory.OWLOntologyCreationHandler handler,
                                   OWLOntologyLoaderConfiguration configuration)
                            throws OWLOntologyCreationException

Description copied from interface: OWLOntologyFactory

Creates and loads an OWLOntology.

Parameters:

documentSource - The document source that provides the means of getting a representation of a document.

handler - A pointer to an OWLOntologyCreationHandler which will be notified immediately after and empty ontology has been created, but before the source data is read and the ontology is loaded with axioms.

configuration - A configuration object which can be used to pass various options to the loader.

Returns:

The newly created and loaded ontology.

Throws:

OWLOntologyCreationException - if the ontology could not be created

createOWLOntology

public OWLOntology createOWLOntology(OWLOntologyID ontologyID,
                                     IRI documentIRI,
                                     OWLOntologyFactory.OWLOntologyCreationHandler handler)
                              throws OWLOntologyCreationException

Description copied from class: AbstractInMemOWLOntologyFactory

Creates an empty ontology that a concrete representation can be parsed into. Subclasses can override this method to change the implementation of the ontology.

Specified by:

createOWLOntology in interface OWLOntologyFactory

Overrides:

createOWLOntology in class AbstractInMemOWLOntologyFactory

Parameters:

ontologyID - the ontology id

documentIRI - the document IRI

handler - the creation handler

Returns:

The created ontology

Throws:

OWLOntologyCreationException - if the ontology could not be created.

canLoad

public boolean canLoad(OWLOntologyDocumentSource documentSource)

Description copied from interface: OWLOntologyFactory

Determines if the factory can load an ontology for the specified input souce.

Parameters:

documentSource - The input source from which to load the ontology

Returns:

true if the factory can load from the specified input source.
