Method Detail

isUseSimpleInts

public boolean isUseSimpleInts()

Returns:

the useSimpleInts

setUseSimpleInts

public void setUseSimpleInts(boolean useSimpleInts)

Parameters:

useSimpleInts - the useSimpleInts to set

isUseSimpleFloats

public boolean isUseSimpleFloats()

Returns:

the useSimpleFloats

setUseSimpleFloats

public void setUseSimpleFloats(boolean useSimpleFloats)

Parameters:

useSimpleFloats - the useSimpleFloats to set

clear

public void clear()

Clears all the state in the importer.

getProblems

public List<String> getProblems()

Description copied from interface: IImporter

Returns a list of problems that happened during the import process. This method should be called after an ImportException is thrown to get a detailed list of problems.

Returns:

the problems

getOntologyVersions

public Iterator<Ontology> getOntologyVersions(IProgressMonitor monitor)

Description copied from interface: IImporter

There are several models used to represent ontologies that have been adopted by different groups. In this implementation a model based on SNOMED's RF2 format is used because it contains features that are not available in other formats.

An ontology in RF2 maps to a set of interdependent modules. This method returns all the ontologies found in a set of files. Implementations of importers for other file formats can simply return a single ontology.

If the files contain related modules then all of them are returned as a single ontology. This method returns an iterator that allows importing each ontology version.

Parameters:

monitor - A progress monitor.

Returns:

An interator that allows importing one ontology version at a time.
