Method Detail

registerEntityChecker

void registerEntityChecker(String namespace,
                           EntityChecker checker)

Registers the given EntityChecker for being used for URIs of the given name space. Note that only one single EntityChecker per name space is allowed. If a second EntityChecker is registered, the first one will be overwritten.

Parameters:

namespace - URI name space for which the given checker should be used.

checker - the EntityChecker that should be registered for the given URI name space.

checkMarkings

void checkMarkings(Collection<? extends org.aksw.gerbil.transfer.nif.Marking> markings)

Checks the given list of Markings for Meanings and their existence based on the available EntityChecker. Only URIs are checked which have a name space for which an EntityChecker is available. If a URI has been identified as not existing, it is replaced by a generated URI.

Parameters:

markings - a List of Markings that should be checked for their existence if they implement or contain a Meaning.

checkMeanings

void checkMeanings(Collection<? extends org.aksw.gerbil.transfer.nif.Meaning> meanings)

Checks the given list of Meanings for their existence based on the available EntityChecker. Only URIs are checked which have a name space for which an EntityChecker is available. If a URI has been identified as not existing, it is replaced by a generated URI.

Parameters:

meanings - a List of Meanings that should be checked for their existence.
