Method Detail

accept

void accept(OWLAnnotationValueVisitor visitor)

Parameters:

visitor - visitor to accept

accept

<O> O accept(OWLAnnotationValueVisitorEx<O> visitor)

Type Parameters:

O - visitor return type

Parameters:

visitor - visitor to accept

Returns:

visitor value

asLiteral

default Optional<OWLLiteral> asLiteral()

Returns:

if the value is a literal, return an optional containing it. Return Optional.absent otherwise.

isLiteral

default boolean isLiteral()

Returns:

true if the annotation value is a literal

annotationValue

default OWLAnnotationValue annotationValue()

Specified by:

annotationValue in interface HasAnnotationValue

Returns:

the annotation value itself; this method allows OWLAnnotationAssertionAxiom and OWLAnnotation to use the default methods rather than replicate the methods. For OWLAnnotationValue instances, the value returned is the object itself.
