Sorts objects into sets based on where they appear in the imports closure of an ontology. Consider ontology B that imports ontology A. A map will be generated that maps each ontology, A, B, to a set of objects that are associated with the ontology. If an object is associated with ontology A and associated with ontology B then it will only appear in the set of objects that are associated with ontology A since A appears higher up the imports closure. An example of the use of this class is to obtain a map of ontologies to sets of entities where each set of entities contains entities that are first mentioned in the ontology that maps to them.

Constructor Detail

ImportsStructureObjectSorter

public ImportsStructureObjectSorter(OWLOntology ontology,
                                    OWLOntologyManager manager,
                                    ImportsStructureObjectSorter.ObjectSelector<O> objectSelector)

Creates a sorter for the specified ontology, whose imports closure is obtained with the specified manager, and for each ontology whose objects are selected using the specified object selector.

Parameters:

ontology - The ontology

manager - The manager that will be used to obtain the imports closure

objectSelector - The selector that will be used to select objects that are associated with each ontology.

Method Detail

getObjects

public java.util.Map<OWLOntology,java.util.Set<O>> getObjects()

Gets a map that maps ontologies to sets of associated objects. The ontologies will be the ontologies that are contained in the imports closure of the original specified ontology.

Returns:

The map.
