public class Place
extends Location

Ontological representation of a place (which is not only a location but also has some more properties. It is more concrete). Methods included in this class are the mandatory ones for representing an ontological concept in Java classes for uAAL. Usually it includes getters and setters for most of its properties.

Constructor Detail

Place

public Place(String uri)

Creates a Place object

uri - the object URI

Place

public Place()

Creates a Place object

Place

public Place(String uri,
             String name)

Creates a Place object

Parameters:

uri - this value can also be a null object

name - The place name. A null object is not allowed

Place

public Place(String uri,
             String name,
             Shape shape)

Creates a Place object

Parameters:

uri - this value can also be a null object

name - The place name. A null object is not allowed

shape - the shape of the place. IS not allowed to have a OriginedMetric as local Coordinate System

Place

public Place(Shape shape)

for interal use only

Parameters:

shape -

Place

public Place(String uri,
             Shape shape)

Creates a Place object

Parameters:

uri - this value can also be a null object

shape - the shape of the place. IS not allowed to have a OriginedMetric as local Coordinate System

Method Detail

getClassURI

public String getClassURI()

Description copied from class: ManagedIndividual

Get the class URI for this ManagedIndividual. All non-abstract subclasses MUST overwrite this method!

Overrides:

getClassURI in class Location

Returns:

The class URI.

See Also:

ManagedIndividual.getClassURI()

getShape

public Shape getShape()

getPhysicalThingofLocation

public PhysicalThing getPhysicalThingofLocation()

setPhysicalThingofLocation

public void setPhysicalThingofLocation(PhysicalThing pt)

this is a simple setter method of the property location_of_physical_thing of the location

Parameters:

pt -

getPropSerializationType

public int getPropSerializationType(String propURI)

Description copied from class: ManagedIndividual

Answers if the given property has to be considered when serializing this individual in a minimized way, and if not ignore-able, whether its value should be presented in its full form or can be reduced. The return value must be one of Resource.PROP_SERIALIZATION_OPTIONAL, Resource.PROP_SERIALIZATION_REDUCED, or Resource.PROP_SERIALIZATION_FULL. It can be assumed that the given property is one of those returned by FinalizedResource.getPropertyURIs(). Decision criterion should be if the value of this property is absolutely necessary when this resource is being sent to a remote node. If the subclass rates it as unlikely that the receiver side would need this info, the answer should be PROP_SERIALIZATION_OPTIONAL in favor of lower communication traffic and higher performance even at risk of a possible additional query on the receiver side for fetching this info. With the same rationale, if a property should be included in the process of serialization, it is preferable to include it in a reduced form; in this case the return value should be PROP_SERIALIZATION_REDUCED, otherwise PROP_SERIALIZATION_FULL can be returned.

Overrides:

getPropSerializationType in class Location

getDistanceTo

public float getDistanceTo(Location other)

This method calculates the distance between a Place object and a Location object.

Parameters:

other - the Location object

Returns:

a float value which provides information about the distance between the Place object and the Location Object

getSmallestContaining

public Place getSmallestContaining(Point p)

returns the smallest, contained place that contains the given point does not consider overlapping Places

Parameters:

p -

Returns:

the smallest containing place or null if the point is not contained

contains

public boolean contains(Point p)

getContainingLocation

public Location getContainingLocation()

Overrides:

getContainingLocation in class Location

Returns:

The value of "is contained in" property. If the property is not present a null object is returned.
