  • Method Details

    • accept

      void accept(OWLAnnotationValueVisitor visitor)
      Parameters:
      visitor - visitor to accept

    • accept

      <O> O accept(OWLAnnotationValueVisitorEx<O> visitor)
      Type Parameters:
      O - visitor return type
      Parameters:
      visitor - visitor to accept
      Returns:
      visitor value

    • asLiteral

      default Optional<OWLLiteral> asLiteral()
      Returns:
      if the value is a literal, return an optional containing it. Return Optional.absent otherwise.

    • isLiteral

      default boolean isLiteral()
      Returns:
      true if the annotation value is a literal

    • annotationValue

      default OWLAnnotationValue annotationValue()
      Specified by:
      annotationValue in interface HasAnnotationValue
      Returns:
      the annotation value itself; this method allows OWLAnnotationAssertionAxiom and OWLAnnotation to use the default methods rather than replicate the methods. For OWLAnnotationValue instances, the value returned is the object itself.
