## Technological Background

The **ontouml-vocabulary-lib** is a Python library tailored for managing OntoUML concepts on [RDFLib](https://rdflib.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) graphs.

The library complies with the [OntoUML vocabulary](https://w3id.org/ontouml/vocabulary)—ensuring compatibility with its [version 1.1.0](https://w3id.org/ontouml/vocabulary/v1.1.0).

### The OntoUML Vocabulary

OntoUML is a modeling language that has been developed to support the representation of domain ontologies in the conceptual modeling phase of system development. The [OntoUML Vocabulary](https://w3id.org/ontouml/vocabulary), on the other hand, is an OWL vocabulary designed to allow the serialization and exchanging of OntoUML models in conformance with the [OntoUML Metamodel](https://w3id.org/ontouml/metamodel).

The OntoUML Vocabulary provides the necessary resources for mapping OntoUML models to OWL ontologies, which is a crucial step for utilizing OntoUML in Semantic Web applications.

### The RDFLib

[RDFLib](https://rdflib.readthedocs.io/en/stable/) is a Python library that provides a comprehensive toolkit for working with [Resource Description Framework (RDF)](https://www.w3.org/RDF/) data, which is fundamental to the Semantic Web and linked data technologies. RDFLib enables developers to create, manipulate, and query RDF graphs, making it a powerful tool for managing knowledge graphs within the Python ecosystem.

## Concepts

When working with the ontouml-vocabulary-lib library, users will primarily engage with five fundamental concepts, each contributing to the seamless manipulation of OntoUML models and RDF graphs. These key concepts include OUTerm, which represents OntoUML terms and ensures semantic consistency; OUElement, serving as a container for various OntoUML model elements and maintaining their structured details; OUGraph, a pivotal orchestrator for OntoUML vocabulary elements within RDF graphs, enabling systematic access and manipulation; OUEnumeration, which provides organized enumerations for OntoUML concepts and stereotypes; and Graph, a core concept from RDFLib, offering a structured framework for managing RDF data. Together, these concepts empower users to efficiently handle OntoUML models, navigate their semantic complexities, and interact with RDF graphs, making ontouml-vocabulary-lib a valuable tool for ontology-driven conceptual modeling and semantic web technologies.

### OntoUML Terms

The `OntoUML` class in this library encapsulates the OntoUML vocabulary, enabling easy interaction with ontological terms to enhance the accuracy and consistency of your model. This class is designed to operate similarly to how RDFLib handles vocabularies like OWL, RDF, and RDFS. In RDFLib, you can access concepts from these vocabularies directly, for instance, `RDFS.subClassOf` or `RDF.type` (for more information, [access here](https://rdflib.readthedocs.io/en/stable/apidocs/rdflib.namespace.html#rdflib.namespace.Namespace)). Similarly, with this library, you can access OntoUML terms directly, e.g., `OntoUML.kind`.

Additionally, this library integrates the `URIRef` concept from RDFLib, which allows for the clear and unambiguous definition of relationships and properties through universal resource identifiers (URIs). A [URIRef in RDFLib](https://rdflib.readthedocs.io/en/stable/rdf_terms.html#uriref) is a unique identifier used to identify resources in semantic web technologies.

#### Methods

Here are the methods provided by the `OntoUML` class:

- **`get_list_all`**: Retrieves all OntoUML terms as a list of `URIRef` objects.
- **`get_namespace`**: Returns the OntoUML namespace as a string.
- **`get_term`**: Given a term name as a string, retrieves the corresponding OntoUML term as a `URIRef`.

| Method Name     | Description                  | Arguments        | Return Type       |
|-----------------|------------------------------|------------------|-------------------|
| `get_list_all`  | Lists all OntoUML terms      | None             | List of `URIRef`  |
| `get_namespace` | Gets OntoUML namespace       | None             | `str`             |
| `get_term`      | Gets a specific OntoUML term | `term_name: str` | `URIRef` or Error |

#### Usage Examples

Below are some practical examples illustrating how to utilize the OntoUML Terms concept.

1. Accessing a specific OntoUML Term:

```python
# Accessing a specific OntoUML term
from ontouml_vocabulary_lib import OntoUML
my_ontouml_class = OntoUML.Class

# Output
print(my_ontouml_class)  # https://w3id.org/ontouml#Class
```

The result "https://w3id.org/ontouml#Class" from box 1 is of [type URIRef in RDFLib](https://rdflib.readthedocs.io/en/stable/rdf_terms.html#uriref), which represents a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) within the Resource Description Framework (RDF) data model, serving as a unique identifier for resources in semantic web technologies.

2. Accessing all OntoUML Terms

```python
# Accessing all OntoUML terms
from ontouml_vocabulary_lib import OntoUML
all_terms = OntoUML.get_list_all()

# Output
print(all_terms)  # [rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#abstract'), rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#abstractNature'), rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#aggregationKind'), ...]
```

As can be seen, the result is a list of URIRefs.

3. Accessing the OntoUML Vocabulary base namespace

The `get_namespace` method is used to retrieve the namespace URI for OntoUML Vocabulary. Here is an example demonstrating how to use this method:

```python
# Getting the namespace for OntoUML
from ontouml_vocabulary_lib import OntoUML
namespace_uri = OntoUML.get_namespace()

# Output
print(namespace_uri)  # https://w3id.org/ontouml#
```

These methods ease the process of working with OntoUML terms, making it intuitive to use them within your projects.

### OntoUML Constants

The `ontouml-vocabulary-lib` library includes a set of predefined constants that group OntoUML stereotypes into semantically relevant categories, allowing for a structured approach to accessing and utilizing OntoUML concepts in your Python programs. These constants are organized into tuples with alphabetically sorted elements. Each tuple represents a different categorization of OntoUML stereotypes.

- **Class Stereotypes**:
  - Base Sortal Class Stereotypes: `ONTOUML_BASE_SORTAL_CLASS_STEREOTYPES`
  - Ultimate Sortal Class Stereotypes: `ONTOUML_ULTIMATE_SORTAL_CLASS_STEREOTYPES`
  - Sortal Class Stereotypes: `ONTOUML_SORTAL_CLASS_STEREOTYPES`
  - Non-Sortal Class Stereotypes: `ONTOUML_NON_SORTAL_CLASS_STEREOTYPES`
  - Abstract Class Stereotypes: `ONTOUML_ABSTRACT_CLASS_STEREOTYPES`
  - Rigid Class Stereotypes: `ONTOUML_RIGID_CLASS_STEREOTYPES`
  - Anti-Rigid Class Stereotypes: `ONTOUML_ANTI_RIGID_CLASS_STEREOTYPES`
  - Semi-Rigid Class Stereotypes: `ONTOUML_SEMI_RIGID_CLASS_STEREOTYPES`
  - All Class Stereotypes: `ONTOUML_CLASS_STEREOTYPES`

- **Miscellaneous Stereotypes**:
  - Relation Stereotypes: `ONTOUML_RELATION_STEREOTYPES`
  - Property Stereotypes: `ONTOUML_PROPERTY_STEREOTYPES`
  - Aggregation Kinds: `ONTOUML_AGGREGATION_KINDS`
  - Ontological Natures: `ONTOUML_ONTOLOGICAL_NATURES`
  - Abstract Elements: `ONTOUML_ABSTRACT_ELEMENTS`
  - Concrete Elements: `ONTOUML_CONCRETE_ELEMENTS`

#### Usage Examples

Below are some practical examples illustrating how to utilize the OntoUML Terms concept. In these examples, we are utilizing the `*` import statement to import all the constants from the `constants_classes` and `constants_misc` modules within the `ontouml_vocabulary_lib.constants` sub-package. Ensure you have the `ontouml-vocabulary-lib` library installed and accessible in your environment.

1. **Listing All Base Sortal Class Stereotypes**:
```python
from ontouml_vocabulary_lib.constants.constants_classes import *

# Listing all base sortal class stereotypes
# The tuple contains stereotypes that are considered as base sortals in OntoUML
print(ONTOUML_BASE_SORTAL_CLASS_STEREOTYPES)
```

Output:
```txt
(rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#historicalRole'), rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#phase'), rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#role'), rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#subkind'))
```

2. **Validating an OntoUML Concept against a Set of Stereotypes**:

```python
from ontouml_vocabulary_lib.constants.constants_classes import *
from ontouml_vocabulary_lib.terms import OntoUML

# A given OntoUML Concept (Assume OntoUML.kind is of type URIRef)
given_ontouml_concept = OntoUML.kind

# Validate if it's a base sortal
# Checking if the given OntoUML concept is part of the base sortal class stereotypes
is_base_sortal = given_ontouml_concept in ONTOUML_BASE_SORTAL_CLASS_STEREOTYPES

# Output the validation result
print(f"Is {given_ontouml_concept} a base sortal stereotype?")
print("Yes" if is_base_sortal else "No")
```
Output:
```txt
Is https://w3id.org/ontouml#kind a base sortal stereotype?
No
```
3. Comparing Values between Different Sets of Stereotypes:

```python
from ontouml_vocabulary_lib.constants.constants_classes import *

# Retrieve all ultimate sortals and rigid types
all_ultimate_sortal_classes = ONTOUML_ULTIMATE_SORTAL_CLASS_STEREOTYPES
all_rigid_types = ONTOUML_RIGID_CLASS_STEREOTYPES

# Find common stereotypes between both, if any
# Using set intersection to find common elements between the two tuples
common_stereotypes = set(all_ultimate_sortal_classes).intersection(set(all_rigid_types))

# Output common stereotypes
print("Common stereotypes between Ultimate Sortals and Rigid types:")
print(common_stereotypes)
```

Output:
```txt
Common stereotypes between Ultimate Sortals and Rigid types:
{rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#quality'), rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#collective'), rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#relator'), rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#kind'), rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#quantity'), rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#mode')}
```

Accessing all OntoUML Terms\n\n```python\n# Accessing all OntoUML terms\nfrom ontouml_vocabulary_lib import OntoUML\nall_terms = OntoUML.get_list_all()\n\n# Output\nprint(all_terms)  # [rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#abstract'), rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#abstractNature'), rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#aggregationKind'), ...]\n```\n\nAs can be seen, the result is a list of URIRefs.\n\n3. Accessing the OntoUML Vocabulary base namespace\n\nThe `get_namespace` method is used to retrieve the namespace URI for OntoUML Vocabulary. Here is an example demonstrating how to use this method:\n\n```python\n# Getting the namespace for OntoUML\nfrom ontouml_vocabulary_lib import OntoUML\nnamespace_uri = OntoUML.get_namespace()\n\n# Output\nprint(namespace_uri)  # https://w3id.org/ontouml#\n```\n\nThese methods ease the process of working with OntoUML terms, making it intuitive to use them within your projects.\n\n### OntoUML Constants\n\nThe `ontouml-vocabulary-lib` library includes a set of predefined constants that group OntoUML stereotypes into semantically relevant categories, allowing for a structured approach to accessing and utilizing OntoUML concepts in your Python programs. These constants are organized into tuples with alphabetically sorted elements. Each tuple represents a different categorization of OntoUML stereotypes.\n\n- **Class Stereotypes**:\n  - Base Sortal Class Stereotypes: `ONTOUML_BASE_SORTAL_CLASS_STEREOTYPES`\n  - Ultimate Sortal Class Stereotypes: `ONTOUML_ULTIMATE_SORTAL_CLASS_STEREOTYPES`\n  - Sortal Class Stereotypes: `ONTOUML_SORTAL_CLASS_STEREOTYPES`\n  - Non-Sortal Class Stereotypes: `ONTOUML_NON_SORTAL_CLASS_STEREOTYPES`\n  - Abstract Class Stereotypes: `ONTOUML_ABSTRACT_CLASS_STEREOTYPES`\n  - Rigid Class Stereotypes: `ONTOUML_RIGID_CLASS_STEREOTYPES`\n  - Anti-Rigid Class Stereotypes: `ONTOUML_ANTI_RIGID_CLASS_STEREOTYPES`\n  - Semi-Rigid Class Stereotypes: `ONTOUML_SEMI_RIGID_CLASS_STEREOTYPES`\n  - All Class Stereotypes: `ONTOUML_CLASS_STEREOTYPES`\n\n- **Miscellaneous Stereotypes**:\n  - Relation Stereotypes: `ONTOUML_RELATION_STEREOTYPES`\n  - Property Stereotypes: `ONTOUML_PROPERTY_STEREOTYPES`\n  - Aggregation Kinds: `ONTOUML_AGGREGATION_KINDS`\n  - Ontological Natures: `ONTOUML_ONTOLOGICAL_NATURES`\n  - Abstract Elements: `ONTOUML_ABSTRACT_ELEMENTS`\n  - Concrete Elements: `ONTOUML_CONCRETE_ELEMENTS`\n\n#### Usage Examples\n\nBelow are some practical examples illustrating how to utilize the OntoUML Terms concept. In these examples, we are utilizing the `*` import statement to import all the constants from the `constants_classes` and `constants_misc` modules within the `ontouml_vocabulary_lib.constants` sub-package. Ensure you have the `ontouml-vocabulary-lib` library installed and accessible in your environment.\n\n1. **Listing All Base Sortal Class Stereotypes**:\n```python\nfrom ontouml_vocabulary_lib.constants.constants_classes import *\n\n# Listing all base sortal class stereotypes\n# The tuple contains stereotypes that are considered as base sortals in OntoUML\nprint(ONTOUML_BASE_SORTAL_CLASS_STEREOTYPES)\n```\n\nOutput:\n```txt\n(rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#historicalRole'), rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#phase'), rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#role'), rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#subkind'))\n```\n\n2. **Validating an OntoUML Concept against a Set of Stereotypes**:\n\n```python\nfrom ontouml_vocabulary_lib.constants.constants_classes import *\nfrom ontouml_vocabulary_lib.terms import OntoUML\n\n# A given OntoUML Concept (Assume OntoUML.kind is of type URIRef)\ngiven_ontouml_concept = OntoUML.kind\n\n# Validate if it's a base sortal\n# Checking if the given OntoUML concept is part of the base sortal class stereotypes\nis_base_sortal = given_ontouml_concept in ONTOUML_BASE_SORTAL_CLASS_STEREOTYPES\n\n# Output the validation result\nprint(f\"Is {given_ontouml_concept} a base sortal stereotype?\")\nprint(\"Yes\" if is_base_sortal else \"No\")\n```\nOutput:\n```txt\nIs https://w3id.org/ontouml#kind a base sortal stereotype?\nNo\n```\n3. Comparing Values between Different Sets of Stereotypes:\n\n```python\nfrom ontouml_vocabulary_lib.constants.constants_classes import *\n\n# Retrieve all ultimate sortals and rigid types\nall_ultimate_sortal_classes = ONTOUML_ULTIMATE_SORTAL_CLASS_STEREOTYPES\nall_rigid_types = ONTOUML_RIGID_CLASS_STEREOTYPES\n\n# Find common stereotypes between both, if any\n# Using set intersection to find common elements between the two tuples\ncommon_stereotypes = set(all_ultimate_sortal_classes).intersection(set(all_rigid_types))\n\n# Output common stereotypes\nprint(\"Common stereotypes between Ultimate Sortals and Rigid types:\")\nprint(common_stereotypes)\n```\n\nOutput:\n```txt\nCommon stereotypes between Ultimate Sortals and Rigid types:\n{rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#quality'), rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#collective'), rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#relator'), rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#kind'), rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#quantity'), rdflib.term.URIRef('https://w3id.org/ontouml#mode')}\n```\n\n## Code Testing\n\nThe code provided has undergone rigorous testing to ensure its reliability and correctness.
