Class Formatizer

java.lang.Object

de.unirostock.sems.cbext.Formatizer

public class Formatizer
extends Object

The Class Formatizer to generate format URIs for certain files. This class hosts a bunch of format recognizers (see FormatRecognizer) which are able to recognize files and provide format URIs. By default we are able to recognize SED-ML, BioPax, CellML, SBML, and SBOL. You can extend the default list by passing further FormatRecognizers to (de.unirostock.sems.cbext.FormatRecognizer). To retrieve the format of a certain file you might

• pass the file to (java.io.File)
• pass its mime type to (java.lang.String)
• pass its extension to (java.lang.String)

The result will be a link to, e.g., purl.org or identifiers.org.
