Cleaning text before creating Concept or Inidividual

[Nick Khamis]

Hello Everyone,

1) Is there a method in the Protegex OWL-API that cleans the text normalizing it to a format that will play nice when creating individuals or concepts etc... avoiding rudimentary methods that look something like something like this:

protected static String ConvertAsciiToText(String pValue)
    {
        if (pValue != null)
        {
    pValue = pValue.replace("@", "-");
    pValue = pValue.replace("!", " ");
    pValue = pValue.replace("$", "-");
    pValue = pValue.replace("%", " Percent ");
    pValue = pValue.replace("(","-");
    pValue = pValue.replace(")","-");
    pValue = pValue.replace("*", "-");
    pValue = pValue.replace("<","-");
    pValue = pValue.replace(">", "-");
    pValue = pValue.replace("@", "-at-");
    pValue = pValue.replace("^", "_");
    pValue = pValue.replace("`", " ");
.....


2) When I create a taxonomy of Concepts or Properties for example Class B subsumed by Class A using the ontology editor, protege automatically create the taxonomic classification without any reasoning services being applied. I am assuming that in the background the OWLIM or some simple classification and consistency reasoner is being invoked. Again is that a method in the protegex OWL-API that will alow me to do this with our application.

3) I am looking for the latest up-to date protegex OWL-API programmer's documentation that show nice examples using the API to build, query and store the owl-dl ontologies. I am aware of the Javadoc, and also http://protege.stanford.edu/plugins/owl/api/guide.html. Other resources would be nice.


Thanks in Advanced,
Ninus.

Correct.  No reasoning is required because there is a direct assertion  
of the rdfs:subClassOf or rdfs:subPropertyOf relationships.

Perhaps RDFSClass.addSuperclass

Is there any ideas in regards to:

1) Is there a method in the Protegex OWL-API that cleans the text normalizing it to a format that will play nice when creating individuals or concepts etc... avoiding rudimentary methods that look something like something like this:

protected static String ConvertAsciiToText(String pValue)
    {
        if (pValue != null)
        {
    pValue = pValue.replace("&#64;", "-");
    pValue = pValue.replace("!", " ");
    pValue = pValue.replace("$", "-");
    pValue = pValue.replace("%", " Percent ");
    pValue = pValue.replace("(","-");
    pValue = pValue.replace(")","-");
    pValue = pValue.replace("*", "-");
    pValue = pValue.replace("<","-");
    pValue = pValue.replace(">", "-");
