Interface OntologyConcept

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<Concept>, Concept

All Known Subinterfaces:

EntityType, RelationType, ResourceType<D>, Role, RuleType, Type

public interface OntologyConcept
extends Concept

Facilitates construction of ontological elements.

Allows you to create schema or ontological elements. These differ from normal graph constructs in two ways: 1. They have a unique Label which identifies them 2. You can link them together into a hierarchical structure

Method Detail

setLabel

OntologyConcept setLabel(Label label)

Changes the Label of this Concept to a new one.

Parameters:

label - The new Label.

Returns:

The Concept itself

getLabelId

@CheckReturnValue
LabelId getLabelId()

Returns the unique id of this Type.

Returns:

The unique id of this type

getLabel

@CheckReturnValue
Label getLabel()

Returns the unique label of this Type.

Returns:

The unique label of this type

sup

@CheckReturnValue
 @Nullable
OntologyConcept sup()

Returns:

The direct super of this concept

subs

@CheckReturnValue
Collection<? extends OntologyConcept> subs()

Get all indirect subs of this concept. The indirect subs are the concept itself and all indirect subs of direct subs.

Returns:

All the indirect sub-types of this Type

isImplicit

@CheckReturnValue
Boolean isImplicit()

Return whether the Ontology Element was created implicitly. By default, Ontology Elements are not implicit.

Returns:

returns true if the type was created implicitly through the resource syntax

getRulesOfHypothesis

@CheckReturnValue
Collection<Rule> getRulesOfHypothesis()

Return the collection of Rule for which this OntologyConcept serves as a hypothesis.

Returns:

A collection of Rule for which this OntologyConcept serves as a hypothesis

getRulesOfConclusion

@CheckReturnValue
Collection<Rule> getRulesOfConclusion()
