/**
 * A document source provides a point for loading an ontology. A document source may provide three
 * ways of obtaining an ontology document:
 * 
 * From a {@link java.io.Reader}
 * 
From an {@link java.io.InputStream}
 * 
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.
