Interface OntologySpaceFactory

All Superinterfaces:

NamedArtifact, ScopeEventListenable

public interface OntologySpaceFactory
extends ScopeEventListenable, NamedArtifact

An ontology space factory is responsible for the creation of new, readily specialized ontology spaces from supplied ontology input sources. Implementations should not call the setup method of the ontology space once it is created, so that it is not locked from editing since creation time.

Method Detail

createCoreOntologySpace

OntologySpace createCoreOntologySpace(String scopeId,
                                    OntologyInputSource<?>... coreOntologies)

Creates and sets up a default core ontology space. Equivalent to calling createOntologySpace(IRI, SpaceTypes.CORE, OntologyInputSource...).

Parameters:

scopeId - the unique identifier of the ontology scope that will reference this space. It can be used for generating the identifier for this ontology space.

coreSources - the sources of the optional ontologies to be immediately loaded upon space creation.

Returns:

the generated ontology space.

createCustomOntologySpace

OntologySpace createCustomOntologySpace(String scopeId,
                                      OntologyInputSource<?>... customOntologies)

Creates and sets up a default custom ontology space. Equivalent to calling createOntologySpace(IRI, SpaceTypes.CUSTOM, OntologyInputSource...).

Parameters:

scopeId - the unique identifier of the ontology scope that will reference this space. It can be used for generating the identifier for this ontology space.

customSources - the sources of the optional ontologies to be immediately loaded upon space creation.

Returns:

the generated ontology space.

createOntologySpace

OntologySpace createOntologySpace(String scopeId,
                                OntologySpace.SpaceType type,
                                OntologyInputSource<?>... ontologySources)

Creates an ontology space of the specified type.

Parameters:

scopeId - the unique identifier of the ontology scope that will reference this space. It can be used for generating the identifier for this ontology space.

type - the space type.

ontologySources - the sources of the optional ontologies to be immediately loaded upon space creation.

Returns:

the generated ontology space.
