Interface org.ginf.SchemaModel

public interface SchemaModel
extends Model
An interface to a schema-aware model. Such a model extends the basic model interface by providing an additional validation method. find method must be implemented using subclass and subproperty information contained in the schema. Thus, a schema-aware model must compute the transitive closure on the predicates subClassOf and subPropertyOf.

Given the triples:


 (r1,     RDF.type,           ClassA)
 (ClassA, RDFS.subClassOf,    ClassB)
 (ClassB, RDFS.subClassOf,    ClassC)
 (r1,     propA,              r2)
 (propA,  RDFS.subPropertyOf, propB)
 (propB,  RDFS.subPropertyOf, propC)
we must be able to derive: 

 (r1,     RDF.type,         ClassB)
 (r1,     RDF.type,         ClassD)
 (ClassA, RDFS.subClassOf,    ClassD)
 (propA,  RDFS.subPropertyOf, propC)
 (r1,     propB,              r2)
 (r1,     propC,              r2)
