Method Detail

append

public void append(Object value)

Appends a value to this list. This method will first find the last RDFList following the rdf:rest links. If this does not have a rdf:first yet, then this will be assigned to it. Otherwise, it will create a new RDFList of the same type like this as rdf:rest to the end of this list, and assigns the given instance as its rdf:first value.

Parameters:

value - the value to append a list node for

contains

public boolean contains(Object value)

Checks whether a given value is among the entries in this list.

Parameters:

value - the value to look for

Returns:

true if the values contain value

getFirst

public Object getFirst()

getFirstLiteral

public RDFSLiteral getFirstLiteral()

Gets the rdf:first value of this as an RDFSLiteral. The calling method must make sure that we have indeed a primitive value.

Returns:

an RDFSLiteral

getRest

public RDFList getRest()

getStart

public RDFList getStart()

Gets the start of the RDFList chain containing this. This method basically follows the backward references where this is rdf:rest, and does so recursively until it reaches a node which is never used as rdf:rest anywhere in the OWLModel.

Returns:

the start RDFList node (may be this)

getValueLiterals

public List getValueLiterals()

Gets the values in this list as RDFSLiterals. The caller must make sure that only primitive values are currently in the list.

Returns:

a List of RDFSLiteral values.

getValues

public List getValues()

Gets the values in this list.

Returns:

a List of Object instances

isClosed

public boolean isClosed()

Checks whether this is eventually terminated with an rdf:rest rdf:nil triple.

Returns:

true if the last entry in this list points to rdf:nil.

setFirst

public void setFirst(Object value)

setRest

public void setRest(RDFList rest)

size

public int size()
