public class DirectTypeHierarchyInferencer
extends SailWrapper

A forward-chaining inferencer that infers the direct-type hierarchy relations sesame:directSubClassOf, sesame:directSubPropertyOf and sesame:directType.

The semantics of this inferencer are defined as follows:

    Class A is a direct subclass of B iff:
       1. A is a subclass of B and;
       2. A and B are not equa and;
       3. there is no class C (unequal A and B) such that 
          A is a subclass of C and C of B.
   
    Property P is a direct subproperty of Q iff:
       1. P is a subproperty of Q and;
       2. P and Q are not equal and;
       3. there is no property R (unequal P and Q) such that
          P is a subproperty of R and R of Q.
   
    Resource I is of direct type T iff:
       1. I is of type T and
       2. There is no class U (unequal T) such that:
           a. U is a subclass of T and;
           b. I is of type U.

Method Detail

getConnection

public InferencerConnection getConnection()
                                   throws SailException

Description copied from interface: Sail

Opens a connection on the Sail which can be used to query and update data. Depending on how the implementation handles concurrent access, a call to this method might block when there is another open connection on this Sail.

Specified by:

getConnection in interface Sail

Overrides:

getConnection in class SailWrapper

Throws:

SailException - If no transaction could be started, for example because the Sail is not writable.

initialize

public void initialize()
                throws SailException

Description copied from interface: Sail

Initializes the Sail. Parameters to be used in the initialization can be set using #setParameter.

Specified by:

initialize in interface Sail

Overrides:

initialize in class SailWrapper

Throws:

SailException - If the Sail could not be initialized.
