Package net.sf.tweety.arg.aspic.parser

Class AspicParser<T extends Invertable>

java.lang.Object

net.sf.tweety.commons.Parser<AspicArgumentationTheory<T>,Formula>

net.sf.tweety.arg.aspic.parser.AspicParser<T>

Type Parameters:

T - is the type of the language that the ASPIC theory's rules range over

public class AspicParser<T extends Invertable>
extends Parser<AspicArgumentationTheory<T>,Formula>

Parses a Aspic Argumentation System out of an input text. Every line contains one of the following:
<order> ::= <identifier> ( '<' <identifier> )+
<ordinary premise> ::= '=>' '-'? <identifier>
<axiom> ::= '->' '-'? <identifier>
<defeasible rule> ::= ( <identifier> ':' )? <identifier> ( ',' <identifier> )* '=>' (-)? <identifier>
<static rule> ::= <identifier> ( ',' <identifier> )* '->' (-)? <identifier>

Constructor Detail

AspicParser

public AspicParser(Parser<? extends BeliefBase,? extends Formula> formulaparser,
                   RuleFormulaGenerator<T> rfg)

Constructs a new instance

Parameters:

formulaparser - parses the bodies and the heads of the ASPIC argumentation systems rules

rfg - a generator, that transforms InferenceRule<T> into T

Method Detail

setSymbolStrict

public void setSymbolStrict(java.lang.String symbolStrict)

Sets a new symbol used for parsing strict function arrows

Parameters:

symbolStrict - is the new symbol

setSymbolDefeasible

public void setSymbolDefeasible(java.lang.String symbolDefeasible)

Sets a new symbol used for parsing defeasible function arrows

Parameters:

symbolDefeasible - is the new symbol

setSymbolComma

public void setSymbolComma(java.lang.String symbolComma)

Sets a new symbol used for parsing parameter separators

Parameters:

symbolComma - is the new symbol
