Method Detail

setCardinality

public void setCardinality(int cardinality)

Assert that this restriction restricts the property to have the given cardinality. Any existing statements for cardinality will be removed.

Parameters:

cardinality - The cardinality of the restricted property

Throws:

OntProfileException - If the Profile.CARDINALITY() property is not supported in the current language profile.

getCardinality

public int getCardinality()

Answer the cardinality of the restricted property.

Returns:

The cardinality of the restricted property

Throws:

OntProfileException - If the Profile.CARDINALITY() property is not supported in the current language profile.

hasCardinality

public boolean hasCardinality(int cardinality)

Answer true if this property restriction has the given cardinality.

Parameters:

cardinality - The cardinality to test against

Returns:

True if the given cardinality is the cardinality of the restricted property in this restriction

Throws:

OntProfileException - If the Profile.CARDINALITY() property is not supported in the current language profile.

removeCardinality

public void removeCardinality(int cardinality)

Remove the statement that this restriction has the given cardinality for the restricted property. If this statement is not true of the current model, nothing happens.

Parameters:

cardinality - A cardinality value to be removed from this restriction
