Interface OWLAnnotation

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<OWLObject>, HasAnnotationPropertiesInSignature, HasAnnotations, HasAnonymousIndividuals, HasClassesInSignature, HasComponents, HasContainsEntityInSignature, HasDataPropertiesInSignature, HasDatatypesInSignature, HasHashIndex, HasIndex, HasIndividualsInSignature, HasObjectPropertiesInSignature, HasProperty<OWLAnnotationProperty>, HasSignature, IsAnonymous, OWLObject, Serializable

All Known Implementing Classes:

OWLAnnotationImpl, OWLAnnotationImplNotAnnotated

public interface OWLAnnotation
extends OWLObject, HasAnnotations, HasProperty<OWLAnnotationProperty>

Annotations are used in the various types of annotation axioms, which bind annotations to their subjects (i.e. axioms or declarations).
An annotation is equal to another annotation if both objects have equal annotation URIs and have equal annotation values.

2.0.0

Method Detail

componentsWithoutAnnotations

default java.util.stream.Stream<?> componentsWithoutAnnotations()

Specified by:

componentsWithoutAnnotations in interface HasComponents

Returns:

components as a stream; for objects that can have annotations on them, these are skipped. This is useful for comparing axioms without taking annotations into account. Note: annotations on nested objects are not affected.

components

default java.util.stream.Stream<?> components()

Specified by:

components in interface HasComponents

Returns:

components as a stream

componentsAnnotationsFirst

default java.util.stream.Stream<?> componentsAnnotationsFirst()

Specified by:

componentsAnnotationsFirst in interface HasComponents

Returns:

components as a stream; for objects that can have annotations on them, annotation streams appear first. This is useful in renderers.

hashIndex

default int hashIndex()

Specified by:

hashIndex in interface HasHashIndex

Returns:

index for this type. This is not a hashcode for instances, rather a hashcode for the types.

typeIndex

default int typeIndex()

Specified by:

typeIndex in interface HasIndex

Returns:

index for this type. This is not a hashcode for instances, rather a sorting index for the types.

getProperty

OWLAnnotationProperty getProperty()

Gets the property that this annotation acts along.

Specified by:

getProperty in interface HasProperty<OWLAnnotationProperty>

Returns:

The annotation property

getValue

OWLAnnotationValue getValue()

Gets the annotation value. The type of value will depend upon the type of the annotation e.g. whether the annotation is an OWLLiteral, an IRI or an OWLAnonymousIndividual.

Returns:

The annotation value.

See Also:

OWLAnnotationValueVisitor, OWLAnnotationValueVisitorEx

isDeprecatedIRIAnnotation

boolean isDeprecatedIRIAnnotation()

Determines if this annotation is an annotation used to deprecate an IRI. This is the case if the annotation property has an IRI of owl:deprecated and the value of the annotation is "true"^^xsd:boolean

Returns:

true if this annotation is an annotation that can be used to deprecate an IRI, otherwise false.

getAnnotatedAnnotation

OWLAnnotation getAnnotatedAnnotation(Collection<OWLAnnotation> annotations)

Gets an OWLAnnotation which is a copy of this annotation but which has the specified annotations.

Parameters:

annotations - The annotations

Returns:

A copy of this annotation with the specified annotations annotating it

getAnnotatedAnnotation

OWLAnnotation getAnnotatedAnnotation(java.util.stream.Stream<OWLAnnotation> annotations)

Gets an OWLAnnotation which is a copy of this annotation but which has the specified annotations.

Parameters:

annotations - The annotations

Returns:

A copy of this annotation with the specified annotations annotating it

accept

default void accept(OWLAnnotationObjectVisitor visitor)

Parameters:

visitor - visitor to accept

accept

default <O> O accept(OWLAnnotationObjectVisitorEx<O> visitor)

Type Parameters:

O - visitor return type

Parameters:

Returns:

visitor value

Description copied from interface: OWLObject

Accepts a visitor

Specified by:

Parameters:

default <O> O accept(OWLObjectVisitorEx<O> visitor)

Description copied from interface: OWLObject

Accepts a visitor

Specified by:

accept in interface OWLObject

Type Parameters:

O - visitor return type

Parameters:

visitor - The visitor

Returns:

visitor value
