Interface IWQuery

All Superinterfaces:

IWModelElement, IWProofElement

All Known Subinterfaces:

OWLQuery

public interface IWQuery

extends IWProofElement

Represents queries that are asked to inference web applications. These queries are then answered using inference engines and the proof from these answers is represented using nodesets.

Method Summary

void	addAnswer(IWNodeSet newAnswer) Adds the specified Nodeset to the list of answer nodesets ( @param newAnswer a nodeset corresponding to a new answer of the query
java.util.List	getAnswers() Returns a list of Nodesets of the answers for the query
IWInferenceEngine	getInferenceEngine() Returns the inference engine which answered the query
IWLanguage	getLanguage() Returns the language in which the query is expressed
java.lang.String	getQueryContent() Returns the content of the query i.e.
IWQuestion	getQuestion() Returns an IWQuestion insance corresponding to the question asked in the query
void	setAnswers(java.util.List _newAnswers) Sets the list of Nodesets of the answers for the query
void	setInferenceEngine(IWInferenceEngine newEngine) Sets the inference engine to the specified engine
void	setLanguage(IWLanguage newLanguage) Sets the language in which the query is expressed
void	setQueryContent(java.lang.String newContent) Sets the content of the query i.e.
void	setQuestion(IWQuestion newQuestion) Sets the question of a query to the specified IWQuestion insance
