Enum DcElement

java.lang.Object

java.lang.Enum<DcElement>

org.gbif.dwc.terms.DcElement

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<DcElement>, AlternativeNames, Term

public enum DcElement
extends Enum<DcElement>
implements Term, AlternativeNames

All Dublin Core terms with namespace http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/. All terms exist as DcTerm under a different namespace, but DcElement values are allowed to be free text, whereas DcTerm values must be a member of a specific class and therefore given by URI.

Method Detail

values

public static DcElement[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (DcElement c : DcElement.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static DcElement valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Enum<DcElement>

simpleName

public String simpleName()

Description copied from interface: Term

The simple term name without any namespace or paths. For example scientificName.

Specified by:

simpleName in interface Term

alternativeNames

public String[] alternativeNames()

Specified by:

alternativeNames in interface AlternativeNames

Returns:

array of simple, alternative term names

isClass

public boolean isClass()

Description copied from interface: Term

Informs if a term is generally used as a class term, i.e. defining rowTypes not properties. For example VernacularName, Taxon or Occurrence

Specified by:

isClass in interface Term

Returns:

true if the term is defining a class instead of a property, e.g. Taxon

prefix

public String prefix()

Description copied from interface: Term

A unique standard prefix representing the namespace. For example dwc.

Specified by:

prefix in interface Term

namespace

public URI namespace()

Description copied from interface: Term

The namespace the terms are in. Default implementations here expect the namespace to end with a slash.

Specified by:

namespace in interface Term
