org.universAAL.middleware.owl.PropertyRestriction

Direct Known Subclasses:

AllValuesFromRestriction, ExactCardinalityRestriction, HasValueRestriction, MaxCardinalityRestriction, MinCardinalityRestriction, SomeValuesFromRestriction

public abstract class PropertyRestriction
extends TypeExpression

The base class of all simple restrictions. Subclasses will implement the functionality for specific OWL or XSD restrictions. All restrictions are defined by a property and one ore more constraints and describe those individuals that are connected by the defined property to individuals under the condition that the defined constraint is fulfilled.

static PropertyRestriction	getRestriction(ArrayList a, String restrictionURI) Get a restriction with the given class URI from the given set of restrictions.
AllValuesFromRestriction	getRestrictionOnProperty(String propURI) This method is specifically defined for working with property paths, hence whenever it is called it means that the path is already processed until the 'onProperty' of this Restriction and now we are interested in the restrictions defined for the next property in the path (the property given as input parameter).
Object[]	getUpperEnumeration() Each type expression can contain multiple objects; this method returns this set of objects.
protected Object	matchesNonRestriction(TypeExpression subtype, HashMap context, int ttl, List<MatchLogEntry> log) Check all cases where the subtype is not a subclass of PropertyRestriction().

boolean	setProperty(String propURI, Object value) Adds a statement with this resource as the subject, the given propURI as the predicate and the given value as the object.

Method Detail

getClassURI

public String getClassURI()

Get the class URI for this PropertyRestriction.

Returns:

The class URI.

getNamedSuperclasses

public String[] getNamedSuperclasses()

Description copied from class: TypeExpression

Specified by:

getNamedSuperclasses in class TypeExpression

TypeExpression.getNamedSuperclasses()

getUpperEnumeration

public Object[] getUpperEnumeration()

Description copied from class: TypeExpression

matchesNonRestriction

protected Object matchesNonRestriction(TypeExpression subtype,
                           HashMap context,
                           int ttl,
                           List<MatchLogEntry> log)

Check all cases where the subtype is not a subclass of PropertyRestriction(). Helper method for #matches(TypeExpression, HashMap) in subclasses.

setProperty

public boolean setProperty(String propURI,
                  Object value)

Description copied from class: Resource

Adds a statement with this resource as the subject, the given propURI as the predicate and the given value as the object. Subclasses must override this in order to decide if the statement to be added fits the general class constraints. If not, the call of this method should be ignored. For each property only one single call may be made to this method, unless subsequent calls to this method for setting the value of the same property are treated as an update for an update-able property. Multi-valued properties must be set using an instance of List. The differentiation, if a such list should be treated as an rdf:List, can be made with the help of Resource.isClosedCollection(String). The default implementation here accepts all property-value pairs blindly except for rdf:type which is handled if the value is a type URI, a Resource or a java.util.List of them.

Note: The setting of the property rdf:type is being handled by this class via the final methods Resource.addType(String, boolean), Resource.getType(), and Resource.getTypes(). Although these methods give the view of handling type URIs as strings, but in reality the types are stored as direct instances of this class. So, the subclasses should ignore calls for setting rdf:type; if not, then the subclass must pay attention that the value should be a List of direct instances of this class so that (1) the Resource.toString() method returns just the URI and (2) the serializers get no problems with the value. Also, settings via subclasses may be overwritten by this class if a subsequent call to Resource.addType(String, boolean) is made.

Overrides:

setProperty in class Resource

Returns:

true if the property changed as a result of the call

See Also:

Resource.setProperty(String, Object)

addToList

public boolean addToList(ArrayList a)

Add this restriction to the given set of restrictions.

Parameters:

a - The set of Restrictions.

Returns:

True, if the restriction was added.

getRestriction

public static PropertyRestriction getRestriction(ArrayList a,
                                 String restrictionURI)

Get a restriction with the given class URI from the given set of restrictions. The class URI of a specific restriction can be retrieved using either Restriction.MY_URI or #getClassURI().

Parameters:

a - The set of Restrictions.

restrictionURI - The URI of the Restriction class to search for.

Returns:

The restriction, or null, if no restriction of the given type could be found in the given set.

getRestrictionOnProperty

public AllValuesFromRestriction getRestrictionOnProperty(String propURI)

This method is specifically defined for working with property paths, hence whenever it is called it means that the path is already processed until the 'onProperty' of this Restriction and now we are interested in the restrictions defined for the next property in the path (the property given as input parameter). Hence, the class set for 'allValuesFrom' must be checked.
