Interface OWLDataRange

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable<OWLObject>, HasAnonymousIndividuals, HasClassesInSignature, HasContainsEntityInSignature, HasDataPropertiesInSignature, HasDatatypesInSignature, HasIndividualsInSignature, HasObjectPropertiesInSignature, HasSignature, OWLObject, OWLPropertyRange, Serializable, SWRLPredicate

All Known Subinterfaces:

OWLDataComplementOf, OWLDataIntersectionOf, OWLDataOneOf, OWLDatatype, OWLDatatypeRestriction, OWLDataUnionOf, OWLNaryDataRange

public interface OWLDataRange
extends OWLObject, OWLPropertyRange, SWRLPredicate

Represents a DataRange in the OWL 2 Specification.
A high level interface which represents a data range. Example of data ranges are datatypes (e.g. int, float, double, string, ...), complements of data ranges (e.g. not(int)), data enumerations (data oneOfs), datatype restrictions (e.g. int > 3).

Method Detail

isDatatype

boolean isDatatype()

Determines if this data range is a datatype (int, float, ...)

Returns:

true if this datarange is a datatype, or false if it is not a datatype and is some other data range such as a data range restriction, data oneOf or data complementOf.

isTopDatatype

boolean isTopDatatype()

Determines if this data range is the top data type.

Returns:

true if this data range is the top datatype otherwise false

asOWLDatatype

OWLDatatype asOWLDatatype()

If this data range is a datatype then this method may be used to obtain it as a datatype (rather than using an explicit cast).

Returns:

This data range as an OWLDatatype

Returns:

The data range type
