public BidirectionalShortFormProviderAdapter(@Nonnull
                                             Set<OWLOntology> ontologies,

                                             Set<OWLOntology> ontologies,

                                             ShortFormProvider shortFormProvider)

Creates a BidirectionalShortFormProvider that maps between the entities that are referenced in the specified ontologies and the shortforms of these entities. Note that the dispose method must be called when the provider has been finished with so that the provider may remove itself as a listener from the manager.

Parameters:

ontologies - The ontologies that contain references to the entities to be mapped.

shortFormProvider - The short form provider that should be used to generate the short forms of the referenced entities.

man - This short form provider will track changes to ontologies. The provider will listen for ontology changes and update the cache of entity--shortform mappings based on whether the specified ontologies contain references to entities or not.
