Method Detail

getOntologyManager

protected org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.OWLOntologyManager getOntologyManager()

loadOntology

protected org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.OWLOntology loadOntology(InputStream inputStream)
                                                         throws org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.OWLOntologyCreationException

Helper method for loading an ontology document from an InputStream.

Parameters:

inputStream - The {

Returns:

An OWLOntology for the the loaded ontology.

Throws:

org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.OWLOntologyCreationException - If the ontology could not be loaded.

loadOntologies

protected abstract List<org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.OWLOntology> loadOntologies()
                                                                          throws OwlApiSimplexException

Abstract method for loading ontologies. The implementor must provided an implementation for this method.

Returns:

A list of the loaded ontologies.

Throws:

OwlApiSimplexException - If an error occurs while loading the ontology documents.

validate

protected void validate(List<org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.OWLOntology> ontologies)
                 throws OwlApiSimplexException

Validate if all required ontologies are available.Intented to be overwritten by subclasses the the owlapi-simplex-generator. The default implemetation does nothing.

Parameters:

ontologies - The ontologies to validate.

Throws:

OwlApiSimplexException - If no all required ontologies are available.

build

public OwlApiSimplexUtils build()
                         throws OwlApiSimplexException

Loads the ontologies and creates an instance of OwlApiSimplexUtils for the loaded ontologies. The last ontology document loaded is used as ontology here. Therefore this OWL document must either directly or indirectly import all other ontologies.

Returns:

A new instance of OwlApiSimplexUtils.

Throws:

OwlApiSimplexException - If an error occurs while loading the ontologies.
