Interface SchemaSanitizingObject

All Superinterfaces:

RDFObject, ResourceObject

All Known Implementing Classes:

SchemaSanitizingObjectSupport

public interface SchemaSanitizingObject
extends ResourceObject

Extends the Anno4j base interface ResourceObject providing functionality for sanitizing the repository according to schema information (see SchemaSanitizingObjectSupport). When the sanitizeSchema(Resource) method is called the resources values are made compliant to the schema, e.g. the inverse relation is inserted for a property that is declared symmetric. Currently the following schema features are handled by this support class:

• rdfs:subPropertyOf: Values set for a subproperty are also set for superproperties. Values not set for superproperties are removed from subproperties.
• owl:SymmetricProperty: If Y is the value of a property of this resource then this resource is also a value for Y (of the respective property).
• owl:TransitiveProperty: If this resource is in relation to Y and Y to Z by a certain property then Z is also set as a value of this resources property.
• owl:inverseOf: The inverse relation is set for all inverse properties.

Method Detail

sanitizeSchema

boolean sanitizeSchema(org.openrdf.model.Resource propertyUri)

Updates the repository in order to comply to the schema information present in it. Note that updates are always performed locally, i.e. only for this resource.

Parameters:

propertyUri - The IRI of the property which values have changed. This must be the only property that changed so that sub-/superproperties receive correct values.

Returns:

Returns false on error. true is returned if sanitizing was performed successfully.

sanitizeSchema

boolean sanitizeSchema(String propertyUri)

Updates the repository in order to comply to the schema information present in it. Note that updates are always performed locally, i.e. only for this resource.

Parameters:

propertyUri - The URI of the property which values have changed. This must be the only property that changed so that sub-/superproperties receive correct values.

Returns:

Returns false on error. true is returned if sanitizing was performed successfully.
