Method Detail

getOntology

@Deprecated
public static Ontology getOntology(URL url)
                            throws ResourceInstantiationException

Deprecated. - this method should be avoided

Checks the availability of an existing instance of the Ontology with the given URL in the GATE's CreoleRegister. If found, returns the first available one (doesn't guranttee in which order). If not found, attempts to create one using OWLIM implementation with RDF/XML as ontology type and if successful returns the newly created instance of the ontology.

Parameters:

url -

Returns:

Throws:

ResourceInstantiationException

getResourceName

@Deprecated
public static String getResourceName(String uri)

Deprecated. use ONodeID.getResourceName() instead

Given a URI, this methord returns the name part

Parameters:

uri -

Returns:

getDataType

@Deprecated
public static DataType getDataType(String datatypeURI)

Deprecated. use DataType.getDataType(java.lang.String) instead

Gets the respective datatype for the given datatype URI. If the URI is invalid, the method returns null.

Parameters:

datatypeURI -

Returns:

getLocale

@Deprecated
public static Locale getLocale(String languageCode)

Deprecated. use DataType.getLocale(java.lang.String) instead

Gets the respective locale for the given 2 character language code. If the code doesn't match, the method returns null.

Parameters:

languageCode -

Returns:

createURI

@Deprecated
public static URI createURI(Ontology ontology,
                                       String aResourceName,
                                       boolean isAnonymousResource)

Deprecated. - use Ontology.createOURI(String) and related methods instead.

This method by using the default name space and the provided ontology resource name, creates a new instance of URI. If isAnonymousResource is set to true, an anonymous URI only using the resource name is created.

Parameters:

ontology -

aResourceName -

isAnonymousResource -

Returns:

an instance of URI
