#external_occurrences ⇒ Object

Returns all Occurrences of this Topic whose datatype is IRI

:call-seq:

external_occurrences -> Set of Occurrences

def external_occurrences
  occurrences.select{|y| y.getDatatype.toExternalForm == RTM::PSI[:IRI]}
end

#internal_occurrences ⇒ Object

Returns all Occurrences of this Topic whose datatype is not IRI

:call-seq:

internal_occurrences -> Set of Occurrences

  occurrences.select{|x| x.getDatatype.toExternalForm != RTM::PSI[:IRI]}
end

#names_by(args = {}) ⇒ Object

Returns the names of this topic which may be filtered for their type, value and/or scope.

If scope is set to :ucs, names which exist in the unconstrained scope are selected. If scope is set to :any (default), scope does not constrain the names-Array. Else, only the names which whose scope contains one of the given themes are returned.

Returns an empty Array if no names match or if the name type or scope does not exist.

:call-seq:

names_by -> Array of Names
names_by(:type => identifier) -> Array of Names
names_by(:value => string) -> Array of Names
names_by(:scope => identifier) -> Array of Names
names_by(:type => identifier, :value => string) -> Array of Names
names_by(:type => identifier, :value => string, :scope => identifier) -> Array of Names
and so on

#occurrences_by(args = {}) ⇒ Object

Returns Occurrences of this Topic which may be filtered for their type, value, datatype and/or scope.

If scope is set to :ucs, Occurrences which exist in the unconstrained scope are selected. If scope is set to :any (default), scope does not constrain the Occurrence-Array. Else, only the occurrences which whose scope contains one of the given themes are returned.

Returns an empty Array if no Occurrences match or if the Occurrence type or scope does not exist.

occurrences_by(:type => argument) -> Array of Occurrences
occurrences_by(:value => argument) -> Array of Occurrences
occurrences_by(:scope => argument) -> Array of Occurrences
occurrences_by(:datatype => argument) -> Array of Occurrences
occurrences_by(:type => argument1, :value => argument2) -> Array of Occurrences
occurrences_by(:type => argument1, :value => argument2, :scope => argument3, :datatype => argument4) -> Array of Occurrences
and so on
