Add or update VersionIRI through OWL API

I have an ontology IRI without version. How to add or update version IRI of a particular OWL ontology ?

Solution

  • You need to create a change object that sets the ontology id. So, if you have an ontology o with an IRI but no version IRI:

    OWLOntology o = ...
IRI versionIRI=IRI.create("version");
SetOntologyID change=new SetOntologyID(o, 
    new OWLOntologyID(o.getOntologyID().getIR(), Optional.of(versionIRI)));
o.getOWLOntologyManager().applyChange(change);
