Method Detail

applyDirectChange

ChangeApplied applyDirectChange(OWLOntologyChange change)

A convenience method that applies just one change to this ontology. Note: ontology ID changes should not be passed directly to this method but applied through OWLOntologyManager. This is because the manager needs to update its internal structures for id changes.

Parameters:

change - The change to be applied

Returns:

ChangeApplied.SUCCESSFULLY if the change is applied with success, ChangeApplied.UNSUCCESSFULLY otherwise.

Throws:

OWLOntologyChangeException - If the change could not be applied. See subclasses of ontology change exception for more specific details.

OWLOntologyRenameException - If one or more of the changes is an instance of SetOntologyID where the new OWLOntologyID already belongs to an ontology managed by this manager.
