All Implemented Interfaces:

LanguageHandler

Method Details

isRecognizedLanguage

public boolean isRecognizedLanguage(String languageTag)

Description copied from interface: LanguageHandler

Checks if the given language tag is recognized by this language handler, including cases where the language tag is recognized, but is not yet normalized.

Specified by:

isRecognizedLanguage in interface LanguageHandler

Parameters:

languageTag - The language tag to check.

Returns:

True if the language tag is syntactically valid and could be used with LanguageHandler.verifyLanguage(String, String) and LanguageHandler.normalizeLanguage(String, String, ValueFactory).

verifyLanguage

public boolean verifyLanguage(String literalValue,
 String languageTag)
                       throws LiteralUtilException

Description copied from interface: LanguageHandler

Verifies that the language tag is valid, optionally including an automated check on the literal value.

This method must only be called after verifying that LanguageHandler.isRecognizedLanguage(String) returns true for the given language tag.

Specified by:

verifyLanguage in interface LanguageHandler

Parameters:

literalValue - Literal value matching the given language tag.

languageTag - A language tag that matched with LanguageHandler.isRecognizedLanguage(String).

Returns:

True if the language tag is recognized by this language handler, and it is verified to be syntactically valid.

Throws:

LiteralUtilException - If the language tag was not recognized.

normalizeLanguage

public Literal normalizeLanguage(String literalValue,
 String languageTag,
 ValueFactory valueFactory)
                          throws LiteralUtilException

Description copied from interface: LanguageHandler

Normalize both the language tag and the language if appropriate, and use the given value factory to generate a literal matching the literal value and language tag.

This method must only be called after verifying that LanguageHandler.isRecognizedLanguage(String) returns true for the given language tag, and LanguageHandler.verifyLanguage(String, String) also returns true for the given language and literal value.

Specified by:

normalizeLanguage in interface LanguageHandler

Parameters:

literalValue - Required literal value to use in the normalization process and to provide the value for the resulting literal.

languageTag - The language tag which is to be normalized. This tag is available in normalized form from the result using Literal.getLanguage().

valueFactory - The ValueFactory to use to create the result literal.

Returns:

A Literal containing the normalized literal value and language tag.

Throws:

LiteralUtilException - If the language tag was not recognized or verified, or the literal value could not be normalized due to an error.

getKey

public String getKey()

Description copied from interface: LanguageHandler

A unique key for this language handler to identify it in the LanguageHandlerRegistry.

Specified by:

getKey in interface LanguageHandler

Returns:

A unique string key.
