      Return the name of this ontology
      Specified by:
      getName in interface Ontology
      Returns:
      the name of the ontology

    • getDescription

      public String getDescription()
      Description copied from interface: Ontology
      Return a human-readable description of this ontology, or the empty string if none is available
      Specified by:
      getDescription in interface Ontology
      Returns:
      the description of the term

    • setDescription

      public void setDescription(String description)
      Description copied from interface: Ontology
      set the description of this ontology
      Specified by:
      setDescription in interface Ontology

    • getTerms

      public Set getTerms()
      Description copied from interface: Ontology
      Return all the terms in this ontology
      Specified by:
      getTerms in interface Ontology
      Returns:
      a Set of all Terms of the ontology.

    • getTerm

      public Term getTerm(String s) throws NoSuchElementException
      Description copied from interface: Ontology
      Fetch the term with the specified name.
      Specified by:
      getTerm in interface Ontology
      Parameters:
      s - the name of the term
      Returns:
      The term named name
      Throws:
      NoSuchElementException - if no term exists with that name

    • getTriples

      public Set getTriples(Term subject, Term object, Term predicate)
      Description copied from interface: Ontology
      Return all triples from this ontology which match the supplied pattern. If any of the parameters of this method are null, they are treated as wildcards.
      Specified by:
      getTriples in interface Ontology
      Parameters:
      subject - The subject to search for, or null
      object - The object to search for, or null
      predicate - The relationship to search for, or null.
      Returns:
      a Set of triples

    • getOps

      public OntologyOps getOps()
      Description copied from interface: Ontology
      Return the associated OntologyOps. This method should be implemented by ontology implementors to allow OntoTools to get optimized access to some usefull ontology operations. It is not intended that users will ever invoke this. A sensible dumb implementation of this would return a per-ontology instance of DefaultOps.
      Specified by:
      getOps in interface Ontology
      Returns:
      the OntologyOps instance associated with this instance.

    • importTerm

      public Term importTerm(Term t, String name)
      Description copied from interface: Ontology
