An OWLDataFactory that can be used for creating OWL API objects.

createOWLOntologyManager

public static OWLOntologyManager createOWLOntologyManager(Object injector)

Creates an OWL ontology manager that is configured with the standard parsers and storers and provides locking for concurrent access.

Parameters:

injector - injector object

Returns:

The new manager.

getOWLDataFactory

public static OWLDataFactory getOWLDataFactory(Object injector)

Gets a global data factory that can be used to create OWL API objects.

Parameters:

injector - injector object

an initialized manchester syntax parser for parsing strings

createInjector

public static Object createInjector(Concurrency concurrency)

Parameters:

concurrency - concurrency value (concurrent or non concurrent?)
