All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Serializable

toObject

protected java.lang.Object toObject(AbsObject abs,
                                    java.lang.String lcType,
                                    Ontology globalOnto)
                             throws UnknownSchemaException,
                                    UngroundedException,
                                    OntologyException

Description copied from class: Ontology

Converts an abstract descriptor to a Java object of the proper class.

Overrides:

toObject in class Ontology

Parameters:

abs - the abstract descriptor.

lcType - the type of the abstract descriptor to be translated aconverted into lower case. This is passed as parameters to avoid making the conversion to lower case for each base ontology.

globalOnto - The ontology this ontology is part of (i.e. the ontology that extends this ontology).

Returns:

the object

Throws:

UnknownSchemaException - If no schema for the abs descriptor to be translated is defined in this ontology.

UngroundedException - if the abstract descriptor contains a variable

OntologyException - if some mismatch with the schema is found * ontology. In this case UnknownSchema

fromObject

protected AbsObject fromObject(java.lang.Object obj,
                               Ontology globalOnto)
                        throws UnknownSchemaException,
                               OntologyException

Description copied from class: Ontology

Converts a Java object into a proper abstract descriptor.

Overrides:

fromObject in class Ontology

Parameters:

obj - the object

globalOnto - The ontology this ontology is part of (i.e. the ontology that extends this ontology).

Returns:

the abstract descriptor.

Throws:

UnknownSchemaException - If no schema for the object to be translated is defined in this ontology.

OntologyException - if some mismatch with the schema is found
