Constructor Detail

ManchesterSyntaxTool

public ManchesterSyntaxTool(@Nonnull
                            OWLOntology inputOntology)

Create a new parser instance for the given ontology. By default, this parser will also try to resolve OWLObject instances via their identifier or rdfs:label.

Parameters:

inputOntology - inputOntology

ManchesterSyntaxTool

public ManchesterSyntaxTool(@Nonnull
                            OWLOntology inputOntology,
                            @Nullable
                            Collection<OWLOntology> auxiliaryOntologies)

Create a new parser instance for the given ontologies. By default, this parser will also try to resolve OWLObject instances via their identifier or rdfs:label.

Parameters:

inputOntology - inputOntology

auxiliaryOntologies - set of additional ontologies or null

Method Detail

parseManchesterExpressionFrames

public Set<OntologyAxiomPair> parseManchesterExpressionFrames(@Nonnull
                                                              String expression)

Parameters:

expression - expression

Returns:

set of OntologyAxiomPair

Throws:

ParserException - parser exception

parseManchesterExpression

public OWLClassExpression parseManchesterExpression(@Nonnull
                                                    String expression)

Parse a class expression in Manchester syntax.

Parameters:

expression - expression

Returns:

OWLClassExpression

Throws:

ParserException - parser exception

getId

public String getId(@Nonnull
                    IRI iri)

Translate the IRI into the short form as expected by the parser.

Parameters:

iri - iri

Returns:

short form

getId

public String getId(@Nonnull
                    OWLEntity entity)

Translate the OWLEntity identifier into the short form as expected by the parser.

Parameters:

entity - entity

Returns:

short form

dispose

public void dispose()

Call this method to dispose the internal data structures. This will remove also the listeners registered with the ontology manager.
