fuzzy_dl_owl2.fuzzydl.concept.interface.has_concept_interface

An abstract base class providing a standard interface for objects to manage and update a mutable reference to a specific conceptual entity.

Description

Designed to enforce a consistent structure across various components, the class leverages the Abstract Base Class pattern to ensure that implementing classes possess the capability to store and manipulate a conceptual object. By encapsulating the logic for holding a reference to a Concept, it allows subclasses to initialize with a specific entity and dynamically replace it during execution without needing to re-implement storage mechanisms. The implementation relies on property decorators to control access to the internal state, providing a clean API for retrieving and updating the underlying concept while keeping the actual storage private. This abstraction facilitates the creation of complex conceptual structures where an object needs to wrap or operate upon another concept, ensuring that the reference management remains consistent throughout the system.

Classes

HasConceptInterface

This class serves as an abstract base class that provides a standard interface for managing a mutable conceptual entity, ensuring that implementing objects can track and modify a specific concept. It encapsulates the logic for storing and updating the current concept through the curr_concept property, which allows for dynamic changes to the underlying representation at runtime. Subclasses can leverage this functionality to maintain a consistent state regarding the concept they are operating on, initializing with a specific concept instance and replacing it as needed through the provided property setter.

class HasConceptInterface(concept: fuzzy_dl_owl2.fuzzydl.concept.concept.Concept)

Bases: abc.ABC

This class serves as an abstract base class that provides a standard interface for managing a mutable conceptual entity, ensuring that implementing objects can track and modify a specific concept. It encapsulates the logic for storing and updating the current concept through the curr_concept property, which allows for dynamic changes to the underlying representation at runtime. Subclasses can leverage this functionality to maintain a consistent state regarding the concept they are operating on, initializing with a specific concept instance and replacing it as needed through the provided property setter.

Parameters:

_curr_concept (Concept) – Internal storage for the active concept that the instance is currently representing or manipulating.

_curr_concept: fuzzy_dl_owl2.fuzzydl.concept.concept.Concept

property curr_concept: fuzzy_dl_owl2.fuzzydl.concept.concept.Concept

Returns the single concept currently held by this object, i.e. the operand that the implementing concept wraps. The value is read from the private _curr_concept attribute without modifying the instance.

Returns:

The wrapped concept.

Return type:

Concept
