java.lang.Object
  kaos.xmlschema.classifier.XMLSchemaClassifier

All Implemented Interfaces:

InstanceClassifier, KAoSInstanceClassifier

public class XMLSchemaClassifier
extends java.lang.Object
implements KAoSInstanceClassifier

$Revision: 1.7 $

Constructor Summary

XMLSchemaClassifier()

XMLSchemaClassifier(OntologyInterfaces proxy)

Method Summary

boolean	classify(java.lang.Object className, java.lang.Object instance, java.lang.Object classDesc, java.lang.Object instDesc) Check if the instance is in the given class range This is a more generic method that typecasts the input arguments and then calls the specific method.
boolean	classify(java.lang.String className, java.lang.String instance, ClassDescription classDesc, KAoSInstance instDesc) Check if the instance is in the given class range
void	init() Initializes the specific instance classifier for instance loading necessary ontologies, etc.
void	setOntologyInterfaces(OntologyInterfaces ontInterfaces) Set OntologyInterfaces.

                        ClassDescription classDesc,
                        KAoSInstance instDesc)
                 throws InstanceClassifierInitializationException,
                        UnknownConceptException

Check if the instance is in the given class range

Specified by:

classify in interface KAoSInstanceClassifier

Parameters:

className - ontology name of the class defining the range

instance - the instance to be checked

classDesc - not used (should be passed null)

instDesc - not used (should be passed null)

Returns:

True if the instance is of the specified class, false if not.

Throws:

throws - InstanceClassifierInitializationException if the initialization of the classifier was not successful, details will be provided in the return string

InstanceClassifierInitializationException

UnknownConceptException

setOntologyInterfaces

public void setOntologyInterfaces(OntologyInterfaces ontInterfaces)

Set OntologyInterfaces.

Specified by:

setOntologyInterfaces in interface InstanceClassifier

Parameters:

ontInterfaces - OntologyInterfaces to be used, if needed for instance classification.

init

public void init()
          throws InstanceClassifierInitializationException

Initializes the specific instance classifier for instance loading necessary ontologies, etc.

Specified by:

init in interface InstanceClassifier
