Interface InstancePredicate

All Known Subinterfaces:

InstanceEnumerationPredicate, InstanceIntervalPredicate, InstanceOntologyOrderPredicate, InstanceTaxonomyOrderPredicate, InstanceTotalOrderPredicate, InstanceValueOrderPredicate

All Known Implementing Classes:

InstanceEnumerationPredicateImpl, InstanceIntervalPredicateImpl, InstanceOntologyOrderPredicateImpl, InstancePredicateImpl, InstanceTaxonomyOrderPredicateImpl, InstanceTotalOrderPredicateImpl, InstanceValueOrderPredicateImpl

public interface InstancePredicate

The InstancePredicate can be used in AtomicClasses to refine the range of possible values.

The InstancePredicate is an abstract interface for that no implementation exists. Only the inherited interfaces can be instantiated:

• InstanceEnumerationPredicate can be instantiated by using AtomicClass.createNewInstanceEnumerationPredicate()
• InstanceIntervalPredicate can be instantiated by using AtomicClass.createNewInstanceIntervalPredicate()
• InstanceOntologyOrderPredicate can be instantiated by using AtomicClass.createNewInstanceOntologyOrderPredicate()

Method Details

isEnumerationPredicate

boolean isEnumerationPredicate()

isEnumerationPredicate.

Returns:

true if the predicate is an InstanceEnumerationPredicate

isIntervalPredicate

boolean isIntervalPredicate()

isIntervalPredicate.

Returns:

true if the predicate is an InstanceIntervalPredicate

isTaxonomyOrderPredicate

boolean isTaxonomyOrderPredicate()

• InstanceTaxonomyOrderPredicate

isTotalOrderPredicate

boolean isTotalOrderPredicate()

isTotalOrderPredicate.

Returns:

true if the predicate is an InstanceTotalOrderPredicate

isOntologyOrderPredicate

boolean isOntologyOrderPredicate()

isOntologyOrderPredicate.

Returns:

true if the predicate is an InstanceOntologyOrderPredicate

getAtomicClass

AtomicClass getAtomicClass()

Each InstancePredicate is defined for an AtomicClass. This class can be received with this method.

Returns:

The AtomicClass on that the InstancePredicate is defined.

holdsFor

boolean holdsFor(Object value)

Each InstancePredicate must implement this method to check if the given value is an element of the InstancePredicate.

Parameters:

value - The value to check

Returns:

true if the value is an element of the InstancePredicate
