A SKOSDataset is the central point of access to your SKOS vocabularies. The SKOS vocabulary is managed by a SKOSManager. A SKOSDataset can be thought of as an OWL Ontology which conatins a single or multiple SKOS concept schemes.
Because the SKOS API is built on top of the OWL API we use an OWLOntology to represent our SKOS Vocabularies, you always have access to the underlying OWLOntology, but in most cases you should be fine just using the SKOSDataset directly.

Method Detail

getSKOSEntity

SKOSEntity getSKOSEntity(java.lang.String shortForm)

Query the vocabulary for a Entity, this will query the URI fragment of the entity URI. In addition it will query the prefLAbel, altLabel and hiddenLabel value.

Parameters:: shortForm -
Returns:: SKOSEntity A SKOS enity such as a SKOSConcept, SKOSConceptScheme or SKOSLabelRelation

getURI

java.net.URI getURI()

This is the URI for the OWL Ontology that contains the SKOSVocabularies

Returns:: URI Returns the URI for the Ontology that contains the SKOS vocabularies

getSKOSConceptSchemes

java.util.Set<SKOSConceptScheme> getSKOSConceptSchemes()

Get the set of Concept Schemes in this vocabulary

Returns:: Set

getSKOSConcepts

java.util.Set<SKOSConcept> getSKOSConcepts()

The set of Concepts in this vocabualry

Returns:: Set

getTopConcepts

java.util.Set<SKOSConcept> getTopConcepts(SKOSConceptScheme scheme)

Convenience method for getting the set of Concepts that are top concepts in a particular Concept Scheme

Parameters:: scheme - The concept scheme you want the top cponcepts from
Returns:: Set All concepts at the top of this concept scheme

getConceptsInScheme

java.util.Set<SKOSConcept> getConceptsInScheme(SKOSConceptScheme scheme)
