Interface URIGenerator

All Known Implementing Classes:
DOIHandleURIGenerator, DOIURIGenerator, HandleURIGenerator, LocalURIGenerator
public interface URIGenerator
Please use RDFUtil.generateIdentifier(Context, DSpaceObject) to get URIs for RDF data. Please note that URIs can be generated for DSpaceObjects of the type SITE, COMMUNITY, COLLECTION or ITEM only. Currently dspace-rdf doesn't support Bundles or Bitstreams as independent entity. RDFizer() uses a URIGenerator to generate URIs to Identify DSpaceObjects in RDF. You can configure which URIGenerator should be used. See DSpace documentation on how to configure RDFizer.

      String generateIdentifier(Context context, int type, UUID id, String handle, List<String> identifiers) throws SQLException
      Generate a URI that can be used to identify the specified DSpaceObject in RDF data. Please note that URIs can be generated for DSpaceObjects of the type SITE, COMMUNITY, COLLECTION or ITEM only. Currently dspace-rdf doesn't support Bundles or Bitstreams as independent entity. This method should work even if the DSpaceObject does not exist anymore.
      Parameters:
      context - DSpace Context.
      type - Type of the DSpaceObject you want to generate a URI for (e.g. Constants.ITEM.
      id - UUID of the DSpaceObject you want to generate a URI for.
      handle - Handle of the DSpaceObject you want to generate a URI for.
      identifiers - list of identifiers
      Returns:
      May return null, if no URI could be generated.
      Throws:
      SQLException - An exception that provides information on a database access error or other errors.
