Constructor Detail

LinearDefinition

public LinearDefinition()

Method Detail

setEncoding

public void setEncoding(String encod)

Sets the encoding of the linear def

Parameters:

encod - the encoding to be set

getEncoding

public String getEncoding()

Gets the encoding of the linear def

Returns:

the encoding of the list

loadLists

public Map loadLists()
              throws ResourceInstantiationException

Loads the gazetteer lists and maps them to the nodes

Returns:

a map of nodes vs GazetteerLists

Throws:

ResourceInstantiationException

loadSingleList

public GazetteerList loadSingleList(String listName)
                             throws ResourceInstantiationException

Loads a single gazetteer list given a name

Parameters:

listName - the name of the list to be loaded

Returns:

the loaded gazetteer list

Throws:

ResourceInstantiationException

getListsByNode

public Map getListsByNode()

Gets the lists by node map

Returns:

a map of nodes vs lists

getNodesByListNames

public Map getNodesByListNames()

Gets a map of lists names vs nodes

Returns:

a map of lists names vs nodes

isModified

public boolean isModified()

Gets the value of the isModified flag.

Specified by:

isModified in interface LanguageResource

Overrides:

isModified in class AbstractLanguageResource

Returns:

true if the definition has been modified

getURL

public URL getURL()

Gets the url of this linear definition

Returns:

the url of this linear definition

setURL

public void setURL(URL aUrl)

Sets the url of this linear definition

Parameters:

aUrl - the url of this linear definition

load

public void load()
          throws ResourceInstantiationException

Loads linear definition if url is set

Throws:

ResourceInstantiationException

store

public void store()
           throws ResourceInstantiationException

Stores this to a definition file.

Throws:

ResourceInstantiationException

getLists

public List getLists()

Gets gazetteer lists of this definition. note that a new list is created so the adding and removing of lists will not affect the internal members. Also there is no setLists method since the leading member of the class is nodes, and lists cannot be added individually without being associated with a node.

Returns:

a list of the gazetteer lists names

getNodes

public List getNodes()

get the nodes of the definition as a list

Returns:

the list of nodes

getMajors

public Set getMajors()

Gets the set of all major types in this definition

Returns:

the set of all major types present in this definition

getMinors

public Set getMinors()

Gets the set of all minor types in this definition

Returns:

the set of all minor types present in this definition

getLanguages

public Set getLanguages()

Gets the set of all languages in this definition

Returns:

the set of all languages present in this definition
