Package org.semanticweb.owlapi.util

Class SimpleShortFormProvider

java.lang.Object

org.semanticweb.owlapi.util.SimpleShortFormProvider

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, ShortFormProvider

public class SimpleShortFormProvider
extends Object
implements ShortFormProvider, Serializable

A very simple short form provider which is intended to provide human readable display names for entities. The following strategy is used: 1) If the entity URI has a fragment then that fragment is returned e.g. http://an.other.com#A would have a short form of "A". 2) If the entity URI does not have a fragment then the last segment of the URI path is used e.g. http://an.other.com/A/B would have a short form of "B". 3) If the entity URI does not have a path then the full URI is returned as a string.
