Method Detail

getUnmappedValue

public Value getUnmappedValue()

Description copied from interface: OntologyMappingOutcome

Returns that value that has been used to produce this outcome.

Specified by:

getUnmappedValue in interface OntologyMappingOutcome

Returns:

the value that produced this outcome

getBestHypotheses

public java.util.Collection<OntologyMappingHypothesis> getBestHypotheses()

Description copied from interface: OntologyMappingOutcome

A collection of OntologyMappingHypothesis objects that describe ontology mappings. In the general case, if there is a single valued hypothesis it can be automatically accepted, and if there are many hypotheses user curation will be required before a single outcome can be applied. If there are zero, no mappings were possible.

Specified by:

getBestHypotheses in interface OntologyMappingOutcome

Returns:

a collections of hypotheses describing how a description may match to known ontology terms

isAutomaticallyAcceptable

public boolean isAutomaticallyAcceptable()

Description copied from interface: OntologyMappingOutcome

Whether or not it was possible to automatically accept a given outcome. Generally, this will be true if there was a single improved hypothesis that was accepted and written to some underlying datasource, but implementations are free to define their own criteria for automated acceptance.

Specified by:

isAutomaticallyAcceptable in interface OntologyMappingOutcome

Returns:

whether this mapping outcome was automatically accepted

apply

public void apply()

Description copied from interface: OntologyMappingOutcome

Applies the current outcome. This will normally trigger some action that results in the persistance of the new mapping.

Specified by:

apply in interface OntologyMappingOutcome
