All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<ImportManagementPolicy>

public enum ImportManagementPolicy
extends Enum<ImportManagementPolicy>

The policies that determine how OntoNet should handle OWL import statements and/or the imported ontologies (i.e. import targets) when performing operations such as load/export of ontologies, and rewriting of import statements.

Enum Constant and Description
FLATTEN The root ontology contains all the import statements that point to (recursively) imported ontologies, which instead are cleared of all import statements.
MERGE Remove all import statements from the root ontology's import closure, and recursively copy all the axioms from imported ontologies into the root one.
PRESERVE Keep the import structure as it is.

Enum Constant Detail

FLATTEN

public static final ImportManagementPolicy FLATTEN

The root ontology contains all the import statements that point to (recursively) imported ontologies, which instead are cleared of all import statements. Can be used to minimize the number of statements and remove cycles.

MERGE

public static final ImportManagementPolicy MERGE

Remove all import statements from the root ontology's import closure, and recursively copy all the axioms from imported ontologies into the root one.

PRESERVE

public static final ImportManagementPolicy PRESERVE

Keep the import structure as it is. Note that the import targets can still be rewritten even by following this policy.

Method Detail

values

public static ImportManagementPolicy[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (ImportManagementPolicy c : ImportManagementPolicy.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static ImportManagementPolicy valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null
