Method Detail

getOWLNamedIndividual

OWLNamedIndividual getOWLNamedIndividual(IRI iri)

Gets an instance of OWLNamedIndividual that has the specified IRI.

Parameters:

iri - The IRI.

Returns:

An OWLNamedIndividual that has the specified IRI.

getOWLNamedIndividual

default OWLNamedIndividual getOWLNamedIndividual(HasIRI iri)

Gets an instance of OWLNamedIndividual with the same IRI as the input.

Parameters:

iri - The HasIRI instance.

Returns:

An OWLNamedIndividual that has iri.getIRI() as IRI.

getOWLNamedIndividual

default OWLNamedIndividual getOWLNamedIndividual(String iri)

Gets an instance of OWLNamedIndividual that has the specified IRI. This is the same as getOWLNamedIndividual(IRI.create(iri)).

Parameters:

iri - The IRI string.

Returns:

An OWLNamedIndividual that has the specified IRI.

getOWLNamedIndividual

default OWLNamedIndividual getOWLNamedIndividual(String namespace,
                                                 @Nullable
                                                 String remainder)

Gets an instance of OWLNamedIndividual that has the specified IRI. This is the same as getOWLNamedIndividual(IRI.create(namespace, remainder)).

Parameters:

namespace - The IRI namespace.

remainder - optional remainder or local name

Returns:

An OWLNamedIndividual that has the specified IRI.

getOWLNamedIndividual

default OWLNamedIndividual getOWLNamedIndividual(String abbreviatedIRI,
                                                 PrefixManager prefixManager)

Gets an OWLNamedIndividual that has an IRI that is obtained by expanding an abbreviated name using an appropriate prefix mapping. See The OWL 2 Structural Specification for more details.

Parameters:

abbreviatedIRI - The abbreviated IRI, which is of the form PREFIX_NAME:RC, where PREFIX_NAME may be the empty string (the default prefix). Note that abbreviated IRIs always contain a colon as a delimiter, even if the prefix name is the empty string.

prefixManager - The prefix manager that is responsible for mapping prefix names to prefix IRIs.

Returns:

An OWLNamedIndividual that has the IRI obtained by expanding the specified abbreviated IRI using the specified prefix manager.
For example, suppose "m:Cat" was specified as the abbreviated IRI, the prefix manager would be used to obtain the IRI prefix for the "m:" prefix name, this prefix would then be concatenated with "Cat" to obtain the full IRI which would be the IRI of the OWLNamedIndividual obtained by this method.

Throws:

OWLRuntimeException - if the prefix name in the specified abbreviated IRI does not have a mapping to a prefix in the specified prefix manager.
