Class TransitiveReasoner

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    Reasoner

    public class TransitiveReasoner
    extends java.lang.Object
    implements Reasoner
    A simple "reasoner" used to help with API development.

    This reasoner caches a transitive closure of the subClass and subProperty graphs. The generated infGraph allows both the direct and closed versions of these properties to be retrieved. The cache is built when the tbox is bound in but if the final data graph contains additional subProperty/subClass declarations then the cache has to be rebuilt.

    The triples in the tbox (if present) will also be included in any query. Any of tbox or data graph are allowed to be null.

      • getReasonerCapabilities

        public Model getReasonerCapabilities()
        Return a description of the capabilities of this reasoner encoded in RDF. These capabilities may be static or may depend on configuration information supplied at construction time. May be null if there are no useful capabilities registered.
        Specified by:
        getReasonerCapabilities in interface Reasoner
      • addDescription

        public void addDescription​(Model configSpec,
                                   Resource base)
        Add a configuration description for this reasoner into a partial configuration specification model.
        Specified by:
        addDescription in interface Reasoner
        Parameters:
        configSpec - a Model into which the configuration information should be placed
        base - the Resource to which the configuration parameters should be added.
      • supportsProperty

        public boolean supportsProperty​(Property property)
        Determine whether the given property is recognized and treated specially by this reasoner. This is a convenience packaging of a special case of getCapabilities.
        Specified by:
        supportsProperty in interface Reasoner
        Parameters:
        property - the property which we want to ask the reasoner about, given as a Node since this is part of the SPI rather than API
        Returns:
        true if the given property is handled specially by the reasoner.
      • bindSchema

        public Reasoner bindSchema​(Graph tbox)
                            throws ReasonerException
        Extracts all of the subClass and subProperty declarations from the given schema/tbox and caches the resultant graphs. It can only be used once, can't stack up multiple tboxes this way. This limitation could be lifted - the only difficulty is the need to reprocess all the earlier tboxes if a new subPropertyOf subPropertyOf subClassOf is discovered.
        Specified by:
        bindSchema in interface Reasoner
        Parameters:
        tbox - schema containing the property and class declarations
        Returns:
        a reasoner instace which can be used to process a data graph
        Throws:
        ReasonerException - if the reasoner cannot be bound to a rule set in this way, for example if the underlying engine can only accept a single rule set in this way and one rule set has already been bound in of if the ruleset is illformed.
      • bindSchema

        public Reasoner bindSchema​(Model tbox)
                            throws ReasonerException
        Extracts all of the subClass and subProperty declarations from the given schema/tbox and caches the resultant graphs. It can only be used once, can't stack up multiple tboxes this way. This limitation could be lifted - the only difficulty is the need to reprocess all the earlier tboxes if a new subPropertyOf subPropertyOf subClassOf is discovered.
        Specified by:
        bindSchema in interface Reasoner
        Parameters:
        tbox - schema containing the property and class declarations
        Returns:
        a reasoner instace which can be used to process a data graph
        Throws:
        ReasonerException - if the reasoner cannot be bound to a rule set in this way, for example if the underlying engine can only accept a single rule set in this way and one rule set has already been bound in of if the ruleset is illformed.
      • bind

        public InfGraph bind​(Graph data)
                      throws ReasonerException
        Attach the reasoner to a set of RDF ddata to process. The reasoner may already have been bound to specific rules or ontology axioms (encoded in RDF) through earlier bindRuleset calls.
        Specified by:
        bind in interface Reasoner
        Parameters:
        data - the RDF data to be processed, some reasoners may restrict the range of RDF which is legal here (e.g. syntactic restrictions in OWL).
        Returns:
        an inference graph through which the data+reasoner can be queried.
        Throws:
        ReasonerException - if the data is ill-formed according to the constraints imposed by this reasoner.
      • setDerivationLogging

        public void setDerivationLogging​(boolean logOn)
        Switch on/off drivation logging. If set to true then the InfGraph created from the bind operation will start life with recording of derivations switched on. This is currently only of relevance to rule-based reasoners.

        Default - false.

        Specified by:
        setDerivationLogging in interface Reasoner
      • setParameter

        public void setParameter​(Property parameter,
                                 java.lang.Object value)
        Set a configuration paramter for the reasoner. In the case of the this reasoner there are no configuration parameters and this method is simply here to meet the interfaces specification

        Parameters:
        parameter - the property identifying the parameter to be changed
