Method Detail

canCreateFromDocumentIRI

public boolean canCreateFromDocumentIRI(IRI documentIRI)

Description copied from interface: OWLOntologyFactory

Determines if the factory can create an ontology for the specified ontology document IRI.

Specified by:

canCreateFromDocumentIRI in interface OWLOntologyFactory

Parameters:

documentIRI - The document IRI

Returns:

true if the factory can create an ontology given the specified document IRI, or false if the factory cannot create an ontology given the specified document IRI.

Determines if the factory can load an ontology for the specified input source.

Specified by:

canAttemptLoading in interface OWLOntologyFactory

Parameters:

source - The input source from which to load the ontology

Returns:

true if the factory can load from the specified input source.

Description copied from interface: OWLOntologyFactory

Creates and loads an OWLOntology.

Specified by:

loadOWLOntology in interface OWLOntologyFactory

Parameters:

manager - the ontology manager to set.

documentSource - The document source that provides the means of getting a representation of a document.

handler - A pointer to an OWLOntologyCreationHandler which will be notified immediately after and empty ontology has been created, but before the source data is read and the ontology is loaded with axioms.
