Method Summary

boolean	getBoolean() Gets the value as a boolean.
byte[]	getBytes() Gets the appropriate byte array if the value has datatype xsd:base64Binary
RDFSDatatype	getDatatype() Gets the RDFSDatatype of this value.
double	getDouble()
float	getFloat()
int	getInt() Gets the value as an int.
String	getLanguage() Gets the language if it has been defined for this.
long	getLong()
Object	getPlainValue() If the datatype of this is one of the default datatypes, which can be optimized by Protege, then this returns an optimized value.
String	getString()

Method Detail

getBoolean

public boolean getBoolean()

Gets the value as a boolean.

Returns:

the boolean value

getBytes

public byte[] getBytes()

Gets the appropriate byte array if the value has datatype xsd:base64Binary

Returns:

the byte array, I guess

getDatatype

public RDFSDatatype getDatatype()

Gets the RDFSDatatype of this value.

Returns:

the RDFSDatatype

getDouble

public double getDouble()

getFloat

public float getFloat()

getInt

public int getInt()

Gets the value as an int.

Returns:

the int value

getLanguage

public String getLanguage()

Gets the language if it has been defined for this.

Returns:

a language or null

getLong

public long getLong()

getPlainValue

public Object getPlainValue()

If the datatype of this is one of the default datatypes, which can be optimized by Protege, then this returns an optimized value.

Returns:

null or a Boolean, Integer, Float, or String

getString

public String getString()
