Method Detail

setOWLOntologyManager

@Deprecated
public void setOWLOntologyManager(OWLOntologyManager owlOntologyManager)

Deprecated.

Description copied from interface: OWLParser

Sets the OWLOntologyManager which should be used to load imports etc.

Specified by:

setOWLOntologyManager in interface OWLParser

Parameters:

owlOntologyManager - The ontology manager to be set

getOWLOntologyManager

@Deprecated
public OWLOntologyManager getOWLOntologyManager()

Deprecated. Parser implementors should obtain ontology managers from the ontology that gets supplied in the parse method.

Returns:

An ontology manager that was set with setOWLOntologyManager(org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.OWLOntologyManager)

getRequestTypes

protected String getRequestTypes()

getInputStream

protected InputStream getInputStream(IRI documentIRI,
                         OWLOntologyLoaderConfiguration config)
                              throws IOException

A convenience method that obtains an input stream from a URI. This method sets up the correct request type and wraps the input stream within a buffered input stream

Parameters:

documentIRI - The URI from which the input stream should be returned

Returns:

The input stream obtained from the URI

Throws:

IOException - if there was an IOException in obtaining the input stream from the URI.

getInputSource

protected InputSource getInputSource(OWLOntologyDocumentSource documentSource,
                         OWLOntologyLoaderConfiguration config)
                              throws IOException

Throws:

IOException

parse

public OWLOntologyFormat parse(IRI documentIRI,
                      OWLOntology ontology)
                        throws OWLParserException,
                               IOException,
                               UnloadableImportException

Description copied from interface: OWLParser

Parses the ontology that has a concrete representation which is pointed to by the specified document IRI. Implementors of this method should load any imported ontologies with the loadImports method on OWLOntologyManager.

Specified by:

parse in interface OWLParser

Parameters:

documentIRI - The document IRI where the ontology should be loaded from

ontology - The ontology that the concrete representation should be parsed into. @return An OWLOntologyFormat which describes the concrete representation format which was parsed to obtain the ontology. This will never be null.

Returns:

The format of the ontology

Throws:

OWLParserException - if there was a problem parsing the ontology. This indicates an error in the syntax with this ontology document that the parser reads.

IOException - if there was an IOException during parsing

UnloadableImportException - if loading this ontology prompted the loading of an import and the import could not be loaded.
