A short form provider that generates short forms from the values of object property assertions or data property assertions if the entity is an individual. If the entity whose short form is not being generated is not an individual (i.e. it is a class, property etc.) then an alternate short form provider is used. (As a side note, the use case for this particular short form provider came from the SKOS community, which have individuals that have preferredLabel property assertions).

Constructor Summary

PropertyAssertionValueShortFormProvider(java.util.List<OWLPropertyExpression> properties, java.util.Map<OWLDataPropertyExpression,java.util.List<java.lang.String>> preferredLanguageMap, OWLOntologySetProvider ontologySetProvider)
Constructs a property value short form provider.

PropertyAssertionValueShortFormProvider(java.util.List<OWLPropertyExpression> properties, java.util.Map<OWLDataPropertyExpression,java.util.List<java.lang.String>> preferredLanguageMap, OWLOntologySetProvider ontologySetProvider, ShortFormProvider alternateShortFormProvider)
Constructs a property value short form provider.

Constructor Detail

PropertyAssertionValueShortFormProvider

public PropertyAssertionValueShortFormProvider(java.util.List<OWLPropertyExpression> properties,
                                               java.util.Map<OWLDataPropertyExpression,java.util.List<java.lang.String>> preferredLanguageMap,
                                               OWLOntologySetProvider ontologySetProvider)

Constructs a property value short form provider. Using SimpleShortFormProvider as the alternate short form provider (see other constructor for details).

PropertyAssertionValueShortFormProvider

public PropertyAssertionValueShortFormProvider(java.util.List<OWLPropertyExpression> properties,
                                               java.util.Map<OWLDataPropertyExpression,java.util.List<java.lang.String>> preferredLanguageMap,
                                               OWLOntologySetProvider ontologySetProvider,
                                               ShortFormProvider alternateShortFormProvider)

Constructs a property value short form provider.

Parameters:

properties - A List of preferred properties. The list is searched from start to end, so that property assertions whose property is at the start of the list have a higher priority and are selected over properties that appear towards or at the end of the list.

preferredLanguageMap - A map which maps data properties to preferred languages. For any given data property there may be a list of preferred languages for the values of that property Languages at the start of the list have a higher priority over languages at the end of the list. This parameter may be empty but it must not be null.

ontologySetProvider - An OWLOntologySetProvider which provides a set of ontology from which candidate annotation axioms should be taken. For a given entity, all ontologies are examined.

alternateShortFormProvider - A short form provider which will be used to generate the short form for an entity that does not have any property values (e.g. class, property). This provider will also be used in the case where the value of an annotation is an OWLIndividual for providing the short form of the individual.

Method Detail

getShortForm

public java.lang.String getShortForm(OWLEntity entity)

Description copied from interface: ShortFormProvider

Gets the short form for the specified entity.

Specified by:

getShortForm in interface ShortFormProvider

Parameters:

entity - The entity.

Returns:

A string which represents a short rendering of the speicified entity.

getProperties

public java.util.List<OWLPropertyExpression> getProperties()

getPreferredLanguageMap

public java.util.Map<OWLDataPropertyExpression,java.util.List<java.lang.String>> getPreferredLanguageMap()

dispose

public void dispose()

Description copied from interface: ShortFormProvider
