Class UMLModel

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--edu.stanford.db.rdf.uml.UMLModel

All Implemented Interfaces:

Model, RDFNode, Resource, VirtualModel

public class UMLModel

extends java.lang.Object

implements VirtualModel

A UML model supports inverse properties and generalization and validates UML schemas. For example, the following sets of objects/subjects are equivalent:

find(X, UMLCore.Feature_owner, null) or

find(null, UMLCore.Classifier_feature, X)

To determine whether X is a class, one can use:

find(X, RDF.type, UMLCore.Class) Validation supports typing and cardinality constraints. Currently, we do not check for ordered relationships.

boolean	contains(Statement t) Tests if the model contains the given triple.
Model	create() Creates empty model of the same Class
static Model	create(Model raw) creates a fully enabled UML/RDFS model from a raw model
Model	duplicate() Clone the model.
java.util.Enumeration	elements() Enumerate triples
Model	find(Resource subject, Resource predicate, RDFNode object) General method to search for triples.
Model	getGroundModel()
java.lang.String	getLabel() The formal string label of the node.
java.lang.String	getLocalName() Returns the local name of the resource.
java.lang.String	getNamespace() Returns the namespace of the resource.

Returns the local name of the resource. May not return null.

Specified by:

getLocalName in interface Resource

Following copied from interface: org.w3c.rdf.model.Resource

Returns:

the local name of the resource

setSourceURI

public void setSourceURI(java.lang.String uri)
                  throws ModelException
