String getCastName()

getCategory

DBTermType.Category getCategory()

getNaturalRDFDatatype

Optional<RDFDatatype> getNaturalRDFDatatype()

isNeedingIRISafeEncoding

boolean isNeedingIRISafeEncoding()

Returns true if some values in its value space may need an IRI safe encoding

areEqualitiesStrict

boolean areEqualitiesStrict()

Returns true if the non-strict equality between two terms of this type is equivalent to a strict equality

areEqualitiesStrict

Optional<Boolean> areEqualitiesStrict(DBTermType otherType)

Returns true if the non-strict equality between terms of these two types are equivalent to a strict equality

areEqualitiesBetweenTwoDBAttributesStrict

boolean areEqualitiesBetweenTwoDBAttributesStrict()

Returns true if the non-strict equality between two attributes of the same database of this type is equivalent to a strict equality. Useful for floating numbers. Note that we are NOT considering here equalities with constants coming from source part of the mapping assertion.
