Interface OntoLexLR

All Superinterfaces:
FeatureBearer, LanguageResource, NameBearer, Resource, Serializable
All Known Implementing Classes:
OntoLexKBImpl

public interface OntoLexLR
extends LanguageResource

Title: OntoLexLR interface, GATE2

Description: This interface describes the mapping between ontological concepts/instances and lexical entries. Such mapping is needed to support language generation and also understanding that uses both lexicons of synonyms and other lexical info and an ontology of the domain.

Method Detail

getConceptIds

public List getConceptIds(Object lexId)
Returns a list of objects which are the concept IDs corresponding to the given lexical Id. A list is returned because there might be more than one such concept IDs. Null is returned if there is no corresponding concept ID.


getLexIds

public List getLexIds(Object conceptId)
Returns a list of objects which are the lexical IDs corresponding to the given concept Id. A list is returned because there might be more than one such lexical IDs. Null is returned if there is no corresponding lexical ID.


getAllLexIds

public Set getAllLexIds()
Returns a list of objects which are all lexical IDs in this mapping.


getAllConceptIds

public Set getAllConceptIds()
Returns a list of objects which are all concept IDs in this mapping.


add

public void add(Object conceptId,
                Object lexId)
Add a concept<->lexical ID pair


removeByConcept

public void removeByConcept(Object conceptId)
Remove all mappings to lexical items for the given concept Id


removeByLexId

public void removeByLexId(Object lexId)
Remove all mappings to concept items for the given lexical Id


remove

public void remove(Object conceptId,
                   Object lexId)
Remove the given mapping


isEmpty

public boolean isEmpty()
True if the mapping is empty


clear

public void clear()
Clear the mapping


getLexKBIdentifier

public Object getLexKBIdentifier()
Accessor for the lexical Id property. It specifies which lexicon is this mapping for


setLexKBIdentifier

public void setLexKBIdentifier(Object lexId)
Set method for the lexical Id property. It specifies which lexicon is this mapping for


getOntologyIdentifier

public Object getOntologyIdentifier()
Accessor for the ontology Id property


setOntologyIdentifier

public void setOntologyIdentifier(Object ontoId)
Set method for the ontology Id property. It specifies which ontology is this mapping for
