ont - the associated ontology

axs - the subset of the ontology as a set of axioms

moduleType - the type of module this extractor will construct

SyntacticLocalityModuleExtractor

public SyntacticLocalityModuleExtractor(OWLOntologyManager man,
                                        OWLOntology ont,
                                        ModuleType moduleType)

Creates a new module extractor for a given ontology, its manager, and a specified type of locality.

Parameters:

man - the manager for the associated ontology

ont - the associated ontology

moduleType - the type of module this extractor will construct

Method Detail

setModuleType

public void setModuleType(ModuleType moduleType)

Changes the module type for this extractor without deleting the stored referenced entities.

Parameters:

moduleType - the new type of module

getModuleType

public ModuleType getModuleType()

Returns the module type for this extractor.

Returns:

module type for this extractor

extract

public Set<OWLAxiom> extract(Set<OWLEntity> sig)

Description copied from interface: OntologySegmenter

Returns a set of axioms that is a segment of the ontology associated with this segmenter. This segment is determined by the specified seed signature (set of entities).

Specified by:

extract in interface OntologySegmenter

Parameters:

sig - the seed signature

Returns:

the segment as a set of axioms

extract

public Set<OWLAxiom> extract(Set<OWLEntity> sig,
                             int superClassLevel,
                             int subClassLevel,
                             OWLReasoner reasoner)

Description copied from interface: OntologySegmenter

Returns a set of axioms that is a segment of the ontology associated with this segmenter. This segment is determined by a seed signature (set of entities), which is the specified signature plus possibly all superclasses and/or subclasses of the classes therein. Sub-/superclasses are determined using the specified reasoner.

Specified by:

extract in interface OntologySegmenter

Parameters:

sig - the seed signature

superClassLevel - determines whether superclasses are added to the signature before segment extraction, see below for admissible values

subClassLevel - determines whether subclasses are added to the signature before segment extraction, see below for admissible values

reasoner - the reasoner to determine super-/subclasses

Returns:

the segment as a set of axioms Meaning of the value of superClassLevel, subClassLevel:
Let this value be k. If k greater than 0, then all classes are included that are (direct or indirect) super-/subclasses of some class in signature, with a distance of at most k to this class in the class hierarchy computed by reasoner. If k = 0, then no super-/subclasses are added. If k smaller than 0, then all direct and indirect super-/subclasses of any class in the signature are added.

extract

public Set<OWLAxiom> extract(Set<OWLEntity> sig,
                             int superClassLevel,
                             int subClassLevel,
                             OWLReasoner reasoner,
                             boolean verbose)

Extracts a module from the associated ontology for a given signature and the associated module type, and returns the module as a set of axioms. The seed signature (set of entities) which determines the module is the specified signature plus possibly all superclasses and/or subclasses of the classes therein. Sub-/superclasses are determined using the specified reasoner. The module will include annotation and declaration axioms for all entities and axioms in it.

Parameters:

sig - the seed signature (set of entities) for the module

superClassLevel - determines whether superclasses are added to the signature before segment extraction, see below for admissible values

subClassLevel - determines whether subclasses are added to the signature before segment extraction
Admissible values for superClassLevel (analogously for subClassLevel):

• If superClassLevel greater than 0, then all classes C are included for which the class hierarchy computed by the reasoner contains a path of length at most superClassLevel downwards from C to some class from the signature.
• If superClassLevel = 0, then no super-/subclasses are added.
• If superClassLevel smaller than 0, then all direct and indirect super-/subclasses of any class in the signature are added.

reasoner - the reasoner to determine super-/subclasses. This can be an arbitrary reasoner, including a ToldClassHierarchyReasoner. It must have loaded the ontology.

verbose - true if verbose output is required

Returns:

the module

                              throws OWLOntologyCreationException

Description copied from interface: OntologySegmenter

Returns an ontology that is a segment of the ontology associated with this segmenter. This segment is determined by a seed signature (set of entities), which is the specified signature plus possibly all superclasses and/or subclasses of the classes therein.

Returns:

the segment as a set of axioms

Throws:

OWLOntologyCreationException - if the module cannot be created Meaning of the value of superClassLevel, subClassLevel:
Let this value be k. If k greater than 0, then all classes are included that are (direct or indirect) super-/subclasses of some class in signature, with a distance of at most k to this class in the class hierarchy computed by reasoner. If k = 0, then no super-/subclasses are added. If k smaller than 0, then all direct and indirect super-/subclasses of any class in the signature are added.
