Method Summary

boolean	getBoolean() Gets the value as a boolean.
byte[]	getBytes() Gets the appropriate byte array if the value has datatype xsd:base64Binary
RDFSDatatype	getDatatype() Gets the RDFSDatatype of this value.
double	getDouble()
float	getFloat()
int	getInt() Gets the value as an int.
String	getLanguage() Gets the language if it has been defined for this.
long	getLong()
Object	getPlainValue() If the datatype of this is one of the default datatypes, which can be optimized by Protege, then this returns an optimized value.
short	getShort()

Method Detail

getBoolean

boolean getBoolean()

Gets the value as a boolean.

Returns:

the boolean value

getBytes

byte[] getBytes()

Gets the appropriate byte array if the value has datatype xsd:base64Binary

Returns:

the byte array, I guess

getDatatype

RDFSDatatype getDatatype()

Gets the RDFSDatatype of this value.

Returns:

the RDFSDatatype

getDouble

double getDouble()

getFloat

float getFloat()

getShort

short getShort()

getInt

int getInt()

Gets the value as an int.

Returns:

the int value

getLanguage

String getLanguage()

Returns:

a language or null

getLong

long getLong()

getPlainValue

Object getPlainValue()

If the datatype of this is one of the default datatypes, which can be optimized by Protege, then this returns an optimized value.

Returns:

null or a Boolean, Integer, Float, or String

getString
