Interface URI

All Superinterfaces:

Comparable, Resource, Serializable, Value

All Known Implementing Classes:

URIImpl

public interface URI

extends Resource

A URI. A URI consists of a local name and a namespace. The local name is defined as the part of the URI string after the last occurrence of the '#', ':' or '/' character, the rest of the URI string is the namespace. URI strings that do not contain any of these character are considered to be malformed.

Method Summary

boolean	equals(Object o) Compares a URI object to another object.
String	getLocalName() Gets the local name of this URI.
String	getNamespace() Gets the namespace of this URI.
StatementIterator	getPredicateStatements() Gets all statements from the RDF graph for which this URI is the predicate.
String	getURI() Returns the String-representation of this URI.
int	hashCode() The hash code of a URI is defined as follows: namespace.hashCode() ^ localName.hashCode()

Method Detail

getNamespace

public String getNamespace()

Gets the namespace of this URI.

Returns:

The URI's namespace.

getLocalName

public String getLocalName()

Gets the local name of this URI.

Returns:

The URI's local name.

getURI

public String getURI()

Returns the String-representation of this URI. The String-representation consists of the concatenation of the namespace and the local name.

Returns:

The String-representation of this URI.

getPredicateStatements

public StatementIterator getPredicateStatements()
                                         throws GraphException

Gets all statements from the RDF graph for which this URI is the predicate.

Throws:

GraphException

equals

public boolean equals(Object o)

Compares a URI object to another object.

Parameters:

o - The object to compare this URI to.

Returns:

true if the other object is an instance of URI and their String-representations are equal, false otherwise.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

The hash code of a URI is defined as follows:

 namespace.hashCode() ^ localName.hashCode()
 

Returns:

A hash code for the URI.
