File Encodings and Unicode |
OntoBroker supports the loading of files of different encodings, e.g. UTF-8 or language (and platform) specific encodings like <CP1251> for Cyrillic Windows systems. The following rules apply:
| • | OntoBroker interprets all ObjectLogic files using the system standard encoding. XML-based formats (RDF(S), OWL) are interpreted according to the file-encoding specified in the XML file itself. |
| • | Upon loading, OntoBroker can be forced to use a special encoding for a file by using the -fenc parameter, e.g. |
start-ontobroker -fenc cp1251 russianCars.obl
| • | When serializing F-logic files, the standard system encoding or (when specified) the selected encoding is chosen. XML-based formats will always be serialized in UTF-8. |
The OntoBroker Java API provides several save/export methods for storing ontologies. These methods have parameters which allow the output encoding to be specified.
