Method Detail

load

void load(java.net.URI source,
          boolean stopOnErrors,
          boolean async)
          throws LBException
Load the Radiological Lexicon (RadLex) ontology from a Protégé Frames (.pprj) file format. This will also result in implicit generation of standard indices required by the LexBIG runtime.

An exception is raised if resources cannot be accessed or another load operation is already in progress.

Parameters:
source - URI corresponding to the Protégé project (typically .pprj) file.
stopOnErrors - True means stop if any load error is detected. False means attempt to load what can be loaded if recoverable errors are encountered.
async - Flag controlling whether load occurs in the calling thread. If true, the load will occur in a separate asynchronous process. If false, this method blocks until the load operation completes or fails. Regardless of setting, the getStatus and getLog calls are used to fetch results.
Throws:
LBException

validate

void validate(java.net.URI source,
              int validationLevel)
              throws LBException
Validate content for a candidate resource without performing a load. Returns without exception if validation succeeds.

Parameters:
source - URI corresponding to the Protégé project (typically .pprj) file.
validationLevel - Supported levels of validation include: 0 = Verify the source file exists.
Throws:
LBException
LBException
