- public class AgentActionSchema
- extends ConceptSchema
Note that an AgentActionSchema should also be a ConceptSchema, but
this inheritance relation is cut as Java does not support
multiple inheritance. As a consequence in practice it will
not be possible to define e.g. a ConceptSchema with a slot
whose value must be instances of a certain type of agent-action
even if in theory this should be
possible as a ConceptSchema can have slots of type term and
an agent-action is a concept and therefore a term.

BASE_NAME
public static final java.lang.String BASE_NAME
AgentActionSchema
public AgentActionSchema(java.lang.String typeName)
- Creates an
AgentActionSchema
with a given type-name.
- Parameters:
typeName
- The name of this AgentActionSchema
.
getBaseSchema
public static ObjectSchema getBaseSchema()
- Retrieve the generic base schema for all agent actions.
- Returns:
- the generic base schema for all agent actions.
add
public void add(java.lang.String name,
PredicateSchema slotSchema)
- Add a mandatory slot of type PredicateSchema to this schema.
- Parameters:
name
- The name of the slot.slotSchema
- The schema of the slot.
add
public void add(java.lang.String name,
PredicateSchema slotSchema,
int optionality)
- Add a slot of type PredicateSchema to this schema.
- Parameters:
name
- The name of the slot.slotSchema
- The schema of the slot.optionality
- The optionality, i.e. OPTIONAL
or MANDATORY
newInstance
public AbsObject newInstance()
throws OntologyException
- Creates an Abstract descriptor to hold an agent action of
the proper type.
- Overrides:
- newInstance in class ConceptSchema
validate
public void validate(AbsObject abs,
Ontology onto)
throws OntologyException
- Check whether a given abstract descriptor complies with this
schema.
- Overrides:
- validate in class ConceptSchema
- Parameters:
abs
- The abstract descriptor to be checked- Throws:
- OntologyException - If the abstract descriptor does not
complies with this schema
descendsFrom
protected boolean descendsFrom(ObjectSchema s)
- Return true if
- s is the base schema for the XXXSchema class this schema is
an instance of (e.g. s is ConceptSchema.getBaseSchema() and this
schema is an instance of ConceptSchema)
- s is the base schema for a super-class of the XXXSchema class
this schema is an instance of (e.g. s is TermSchema.getBaseSchema()
and this schema is an instance of ConceptSchema.
Moreover, as AgentActionSchema extends GenericActionSchema, but should
also extend ConceptSchema (this is not possible in practice as
Java does not support multiple inheritance), this method
returns true also in the case that s is equals to, or is an
ancestor of, ConceptSchema.getBaseSchema() (i.e. TermSchema.getBaseSchema()
descends from s)
- Overrides:
- descendsFrom in class ConceptSchema
