/**
 * A document source provides a point for loading an ontology. A document source may provide three
 * ways of obtaining an ontology document:
 * 
    *
  1. From a {@link java.io.Reader} *
  2. From an {@link java.io.InputStream} *
  3. From an ontology document {@link org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.IRI} *
* Consumers that use a document source will attempt to obtain a concrete representation of an * ontology in the above order.
* Note that while an ontology document source may appear similar to a SAX input source, an * important difference is that the getReader and getInputStream methods return new instances each * time the method is called. This allows multiple attempts at loading an ontology. * * @author Matthew Horridge, The University Of Manchester, Bio-Health Informatics Group * @since 2.0.0 */ public interface OWLOntologyDocumentSource { /** * Determines if a reader is available which an ontology document can be parsed from. * * @return {@code true} if a reader can be obtained from this document source, or {@code false} * if a reader cannot be obtained from this document source. */ boolean isReaderAvailable(); /** * Gets a reader which an ontology document can be read from.
