Class YearMonthDuration

java.lang.Object
  org.deri.iris.terms.concrete.Duration
      org.deri.iris.terms.concrete.YearMonthDuration

All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparable<ITerm>, IDuration, IYearMonthDuration, IConcreteTerm, ITerm

public class YearMonthDuration
extends Duration
implements IYearMonthDuration

An interface for representing the xs:yearMonthDuration data-type. xs:yearMonthDuration is derived from xs:duration by restricting its lexical representation to contain only the year and month components.

Example: _yearMonthDuration(1, 6) represents the duration of one and a half years.

Remark: IRIS supports datatypes according to the standard specification for primitive XML Schema datatypes.

Method Detail

toCanonical

public YearMonthDuration toCanonical()

The canonical representation of yearMonthDuration as defined in http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-functions/#canonical-yearMonthDuration.

Specified by:

toCanonical in interface IYearMonthDuration

Returns:

A canonical representation of this yearMonthDuration instance.

toCanonicalString

public String toCanonicalString()

Shortened representation The xs:yearMonthDuration type represents a restriction of the xs:duration type, with only year (Y) and month (M) components allowed. Its lexical representation is PnYnM, where an uppercase P starts the expression, and n indicates the quantity of each component. For example, the value P3Y5M represents a period of three years and five months. You can omit components whose quantity is zero, but at least one component is required. All of the lexical rules for xs:duration also apply to the xs:yearMonthDuration type. This includes allowing a negative sign at the beginning of the value. source: http://my.safaribooksonline.com/0596006349/orm9780596006341-APP-B-SECT-50

Specified by:

toCanonicalString in interface IConcreteTerm

Overrides:

toCanonicalString in class Duration

Returns:

A canonical string representation of this term.

getDatatypeIRI

public URI getDatatypeIRI()

Description copied from interface: IConcreteTerm

Returns the fully qualified identifier for the data type corresponding to this term. For instance, a terms representing a double data type should return the URI "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#double".

Specified by:

getDatatypeIRI in interface IConcreteTerm

Overrides:

getDatatypeIRI in class Duration

Returns:

The fully qualified identifier for the data type corresponding to this term.

toString

public String toString()

Description copied from class: Duration

Returns a short string representation of this object. The format of the returned string is subject to change.

The resutl is formatted according to the XML 1.0 specification.

Overrides:

toString in class Duration

Returns:

the string representation
