public class OWLOntologyXMLHandler
extends java.lang.Object

Static methods to render OWLOntology to and from various different forms including InputStream, Element and String

Constructor Summary

OWLOntologyXMLHandler()

Method Summary

static org.jdom.Element	getOntologyElement(org.semanticweb.owl.model.OWLOntology ontology) Render the supplied OWLOntology to a JDOM element, this bypasses the default OWL xml serializer and is considerably faster as it assembles XML objects directly.
static java.lang.String	getOntologyString(org.semanticweb.owl.model.OWLOntology ontology) Render the supplied OWLOntology to a string, renders to a JDOM element first then uses JDOM's outputter to pretty-print the element.
static org.semanticweb.owl.model.OWLOntology	getOwlOntology(org.jdom.Element ontologyElement) Assemble an OWLOntology from a JDOM element - note that this writes the element to a string and reads it using the rather inefficient OWL parser, this is not a particularly high performance operation! In the future we may be able to drive the ontology parser directly from the XML structure which would make things considerably faster.
static org.semanticweb.owl.model.OWLOntology	getOwlOntology(java.io.InputStream ontologyInput) Assemble an OWLOntology from an ontology accessible through the supplied input stream.
static org.semanticweb.owl.model.OWLOntology	getOwlOntology(java.lang.String ontologyXMLString) Assemble an OWLOntology, parsing the supplied string of OWL2 XML
