Method Detail

isRecognizedDatatype

public boolean isRecognizedDatatype(@Nonnull
                                    IRI theURI)

Checks if the given datatype IRI is recognized by this `DatatypeHandler`.

Specified by:

isRecognizedDatatype in interface DatatypeHandler

Parameters:

theURI - The datatype URI to check.

Returns:

`true` if the datatype is syntactically valid and could be used with DatatypeHandler.verifyDatatype(String, Datatype) and DatatypeHandler.normalizeDatatype(String, Datatype).

key

public java.lang.String key()

A unique key for this datatype handler to identify it in the

Specified by:

key in interface DatatypeHandler

Returns:

A unique string key.

verifyDatatype

public boolean verifyDatatype(@Nonnull
                              java.lang.String theValue,
                              @Nonnull
                              Datatype theDatatype)

Verifies that the datatype is valid, including a check on the structure of the literal value.

This method must only be called after verifying that DatatypeHandler.isRecognizedDatatype(IRI) returns true for the given datatype URI.

Specified by:

verifyDatatype in interface DatatypeHandler

Parameters:

theValue - Literal value matching the given datatype URI.

theDatatype - A datatype that matched with DatatypeHandler.isRecognizedDatatype(IRI)

Returns:

True if the datatype URI is recognized by this datatype handler, and it is verified to be syntactically valid. An implementation may throw InvalidLiteral exception if the datatype is not recognized
