public interface OWLParser extends Serializable
OWLParser
parses an ontology document and adds the axioms of the parsed ontology to
the OWLOntology
object passed to the parse
methods. OWLParser
implementations are supposed to be stateless, and therefore immutable. By
default, implementation factories are injected in OWLOntologyManager instances at creation. This
is not mandatory, and a specific manager can have different implementations injected at any time
after creation.OWLOntologyManager
to populate empty
OWLOntology
, but can be used to add axioms to an OWLOntology
that
already contains axioms.owl:imports
which point to documents that are not ontologies. In
this case, any axioms parsed from the imported document are added to the existing ontology, which
already contains axioms parsed from a different document.Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
