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

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

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

Set getAllLexIds()

Returns a list of objects which are all lexical IDs in this mapping.

getAllConceptIds

Set getAllConceptIds()

Returns a list of objects which are all concept IDs in this mapping.

add

void add(Object conceptId,
         Object lexId)

Add a concept<->lexical ID pair

removeByConcept

void removeByConcept(Object conceptId)

Remove all mappings to lexical items for the given concept Id

removeByLexId

void removeByLexId(Object lexId)

Remove all mappings to concept items for the given lexical Id

remove

void remove(Object conceptId,
            Object lexId)

Remove the given mapping

isEmpty

boolean isEmpty()

True if the mapping is empty

clear

void clear()

Clear the mapping

getLexKBIdentifier

Object getLexKBIdentifier()

Accessor for the lexical Id property. It specifies which lexicon is this mapping for

setLexKBIdentifier

void setLexKBIdentifier(Object lexId)

Set method for the lexical Id property. It specifies which lexicon is this mapping for

getOntologyIdentifier

Object getOntologyIdentifier()

Accessor for the ontology Id property

setOntologyIdentifier

void setOntologyIdentifier(Object ontoId)

Set method for the ontology Id property. It specifies which ontology is this mapping for
