Enum IndividualNodeSetPolicy

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<IndividualNodeSetPolicy>

org.semanticweb.owlapi.reasoner.IndividualNodeSetPolicy

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<IndividualNodeSetPolicy>

public enum IndividualNodeSetPolicy
extends Enum<IndividualNodeSetPolicy>

The policy of how a reasoner will return NodeSets of individuals for queries that return node sets of named individuals such as OWLReasoner.getTypes(org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.OWLNamedIndividual, boolean) or OWLReasoner.getInstances(org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.OWLClassExpression, boolean) .

Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant and Description
BY_NAME Indicates that NodeSets of named individuals will always contain singleton Nodes and individuals that are the same as each other will not be grouped together in one Node within the NodeSet.For example, if i, j and k are individuals, and they are instances of C, and i is entailed to be the same as j then asking for the instances of A will return a NodeSet containing three Nodes, one containing i, one containing j and the third containing k.
BY_SAME_AS Indicates that NodeSets of named individuals returned by the reasoner will contain Nodes that group individuals which are entailed to be the same as each other.

Enum Constant Detail

BY_SAME_AS

public static final IndividualNodeSetPolicy BY_SAME_AS

Indicates that NodeSets of named individuals returned by the reasoner will contain Nodes that group individuals which are entailed to be the same as each other. For example, if i, j and k are individuals, and they are instances of C, and i is entailed to be the same as j then asking for the instances of A will return a NodeSet containing two Nodes, one containing i and j and the other containing k.

BY_NAME

public static final IndividualNodeSetPolicy BY_NAME

Indicates that NodeSets of named individuals will always contain singleton Nodes and individuals that are the same as each other will not be grouped together in one Node within the NodeSet.For example, if i, j and k are individuals, and they are instances of C, and i is entailed to be the same as j then asking for the instances of A will return a NodeSet containing three Nodes, one containing i, one containing j and the third containing k.

Method Detail

values

public static IndividualNodeSetPolicy[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (IndividualNodeSetPolicy c : IndividualNodeSetPolicy.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static IndividualNodeSetPolicy valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

filter

public abstract Stream<OWLNamedIndividual> filter(NodeSet<OWLNamedIndividual> nodes)

Parameters:

nodes - node set to filter

Returns:

filtered individual stream
