Interface OWLOntology

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable, edu.stanford.smi.protege.model.Frame, edu.stanford.smi.protege.model.Instance, ProtegeInstance, RDFObject, RDFResource, Visitable

All Known Implementing Classes:

DefaultOWLOntology

public interface OWLOntology

extends RDFResource

A RDFIndividual that represents an OWL Ontology (tag). Ontologies represent metadata such as versioning info and includes. There is usually only one Ontology defined in each OWL file.

Although this inherits namespace support, the Ontology's URI itself is stored in a separate own slot, which is accessible through the getOntologyURI() and setOntologyURI() methods. Note that it is not recommended to do low level changes to OWLOntologies; in particular the name should not be changed.

Method Detail

addBackwardCompatibleWith

public void addBackwardCompatibleWith(String resource)

addImports

public void addImports(String uri)

Adds an URI to the owl:imports statements of this ontology. Note that this does not actually load the imported ontology - it only adds the import statement. If you want to load the import immediately, then you need to call the corresponding method in ProtegeOWLParser (for file-based projects).

Parameters:

uri - an URI (not ending with a deliminator such as #)

See Also:

ProtegeOWLParser.addImport(edu.stanford.smi.protegex.owl.jena.JenaOWLModel, java.net.URI)

addImports

public void addImports(URI uri)

addImports

public void addImports(RDFExternalResource resource)

Deprecated. use version with RDFUntypedResource instead

addImports

public void addImports(OWLOntology ontology)

addImports

public void addImports(RDFUntypedResource resource)

addIncompatibleWith

public void addIncompatibleWith(String resource)

addPriorVersion

public void addPriorVersion(String resource)

getBackwardCompatibleWith

public Collection getBackwardCompatibleWith()

getImports

public Collection getImports()

Gets the URIs of the imports (as strings)

Returns:

a Collection of strings

getImportResources

public Collection getImportResources()

Gets the URIs of the imports as RDFUntypedResources or OWLOntologies.

Returns:

the import resources

getIncompatibleWith

public Collection getIncompatibleWith()

getOntologyURI

public String getOntologyURI()

Deprecated. now getURI() can be used for that

See Also:

RDFResource.getURI()

getPriorVersions

public Collection getPriorVersions()
