Class SSSOMTUriExpressionDeclareFormatFunction

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    ISSSOMTFunction<Void>
    public class SSSOMTUriExpressionDeclareFormatFunction
extends Object
implements ISSSOMTFunction<Void>
    Represents the SSSOM/T-OWL directive function "uriexpr_declare_format".

    Use this function to associate an expansion template to a URI Expression schema. For example: 

     uriexpr_declare_format(<http://example.org/schema/0001>, "(<{field1}> and <{field2}>)");

    This associates to the schema called http://example.org/schema/0001 a template that turns the URI Expression into a OWL ObjectIntersectionOf expression between the values of the field1 and field2 slots (which are assumed to be valid slots in that schema).

    • Constructor Detail

      • SSSOMTUriExpressionDeclareFormatFunction

        public SSSOMTUriExpressionDeclareFormatFunction​(SSSOMTOwlApplication application)
        Creates a new instance.
        Parameters:
        application - The SSSOM/T-OWL application this function belongs to.

    • Method Detail

      • getName

        public String getName()
        Description copied from interface: ISSSOMTFunction
        Gets the name of the function, by which it can be called in a SSSOM/T ruleset.
        Specified by:
        getName in interface ISSSOMTFunction<Void>
        Returns:
        The function name.

      • getSignature

        public String getSignature()
        Description copied from interface: ISSSOMTFunction
        Gets the expected signature of the function. It should be a string that represents how many arguments (excluding keyed arguments) the function is expecting, where a single S character represents an argument.

        Regular expression syntax may be used to represent arguments that are optional or represent other kinds of constraints about the arguments list.

        Examples:

        • SSS for a function that expects exactly 3 arguments;
        • S+ for a function that expects at least one argument, possibly more;
        • (SS)+ for a function that one or more pairs of arguments (e.g. 2, 4, 6, but not 3 or 5).
        Specified by:
        getSignature in interface ISSSOMTFunction<Void>
        Returns:
        The function signature.

      • call

        public Void call​(List<String> arguments,
                 Map<String,​String> keyedArguments)
          throws SSSOMTransformError
        Description copied from interface: ISSSOMTFunction
        Executes the function.

        Before this method is called, the arguments list will have been checked against the signature and will be guaranteed to be correct (e.g. if the function declared to expects two arguments, it is guaranteed the arguments list will contains two items).

        Specified by:
        call in interface ISSSOMTFunction<Void>
        Parameters:
        arguments - The arguments to the function. May be empty, but not null.
        keyedArguments - The keyed arguments to the function. May be empty, but null.
        Returns:
        The result of executing the function.
        Throws:
        SSSOMTransformError - If any error occurred when executing the function (which may include the case where the number of arguments was correct but their contents was not).
