Class Correspondence

java.lang.Object
  de.unima.alcomox.mapping.Correspondence

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.lang.Comparable<Correspondence>

public class Correspondence
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.lang.Comparable<Correspondence>

A correspondence represents a (simple) semantic relation between two entities belonging to different ontologies. The enties are first only referred to by their uris (unbound correspondence), when the container mapping is bound to the ontologies the entities attributed are set to the internal entity representation.

Constructor Summary

Correspondence(java.lang.String sourceEntityUri, java.lang.String targetEntityUri, SemanticRelation relation)
Constructs an unbound correspondence with confidence value set to 1.0.

Correspondence(java.lang.String sourceConcept, java.lang.String targetConcept, SemanticRelation relation, double confidence)
Constructs an unbound correspondence with confidence value set to 1.0.

Constructor Detail

Correspondence

public Correspondence(java.lang.String sourceEntityUri,
                      java.lang.String targetEntityUri,
                      SemanticRelation relation)
               throws CorrespondenceException

Constructs an unbound correspondence with confidence value set to 1.0.

Parameters:

sourceEntityUri - Uri of the source entity.

targetEntityUri - Uri of the target entity.

relation - Semantic relation between two entities.

Throws:

CorrespondenceException - Thrown if the uris are not wellformed (in a weak sense). Checking wether the uri reference can be resolved does not occur in this context.

Correspondence

public Correspondence(java.lang.String sourceConcept,
                      java.lang.String targetConcept,
                      SemanticRelation relation,
                      double confidence)
               throws CorrespondenceException

Constructs an unbound correspondence with confidence value set to 1.0.

Parameters:

sourceEntityUri - Uri of the source entity.

targetEntityUri - Uri of the target entity.

relation - Semantic relation between two entities.

confidence - Confidence value of this correspondence.

Throws:

CorrespondenceException - Thrown if the uris are not wellformed (in a weak sense) and if the confidence value is not in the range from 0.0 to 1.0. Checking wether the uri reference can be resolved does not occur in this context.

Method Detail

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

String representation of this correspondence.

toShortString

public java.lang.String toShortString()

Returns:

Short string representation of this correspondence.

getId

public int getId()

equals

public boolean equals(java.lang.Object thatObject)

Overrides:

equals in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

True if uri of source entity, uri of target entity and semantic relation are the same, false otherwise. Equality is not affected by the confidence value. This means that two correspondences can be equal if they make thze same statement with different trust in the statement. Input mappings that contain such correspondences are regarded as incorrect.

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Overrides:

hashCode in class java.lang.Object

compareTo

public int compareTo(Correspondence correspondence)

Specified by:

compareTo in interface java.lang.Comparable<Correspondence>
