Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
Stream<OWLOntology>	directImports() Stream of loaded ontologies that this ontology is related to via the directlyImports relation.
Stream<IRI>	directImportsDocuments() The stream of document IRIs that are directly imported by this ontology.
default Set<OWLOntology>	getDirectImports() Deprecated. use the stream method
default Set<IRI>	getDirectImportsDocuments() Deprecated. use the stream method

Method Detail

getDirectImportsDocuments

@Deprecated
default Set<IRI> getDirectImportsDocuments()

Deprecated. use the stream method

Gets the set of document IRIs that are directly imported by this ontology. This corresponds to the IRIs defined by the directlyImportsDocument association as discussed in Section 3.4 of the OWL 2 Structural specification.

Returns:

The set of directlyImportsDocument IRIs.

Throws:

UnknownOWLOntologyException - If this ontology is no longer managed by its manager because it was removed from the manager.

directImportsDocuments

Stream<IRI> directImportsDocuments()

The stream of document IRIs that are directly imported by this ontology. This corresponds to the IRIs defined by the directlyImportsDocument association as discussed in Section 3.4 of the OWL 2 Structural specification.

Returns:

The stream of directlyImportsDocument IRIs.

Throws:

UnknownOWLOntologyException - If this ontology is no longer managed by its manager because it was removed from the manager.

getDirectImports

@Deprecated
default Set<OWLOntology> getDirectImports()

Deprecated. use the stream method

Gets the set of loaded ontologies that this ontology is related to via the directlyImports relation. See Section 3.4 of the OWL 2 specification for the definition of the directlyImports relation.
Note that there may be fewer ontologies in the set returned by this method than there are IRIs in the set returned by the getDirectImportsDocuments() method. This will be the case if some of the ontologies that are directly imported by this ontology are not loaded for what ever reason.

Returns:

A set of ontologies such that for this ontology O, and each ontology O' in the set, (O, O') is in the directlyImports relation.

Throws:

UnknownOWLOntologyException - If this ontology is no longer managed by its manager because it was removed from the manager.

directImports

Stream<OWLOntology> directImports()

Stream of loaded ontologies that this ontology is related to via the directlyImports relation. See Section 3.4 of the OWL 2 specification for the definition of the directlyImports relation.
Note that there may be fewer ontologies in the set returned by this method than there are IRIs in the set returned by the getDirectImportsDocuments() method. This will be the case if some of the ontologies that are directly imported by this ontology are not loaded for what ever reason.

Returns:

Stream of ontologies such that for this ontology O, and each ontology O' in the set, (O, O') is in the directlyImports relation.

Throws:

UnknownOWLOntologyException - If this ontology is no longer managed by its manager because it was removed from the manager.
