Method Detail

registerPattern

public static void registerPattern(DataSource key,
                                   java.util.regex.Pattern value)

Register a regex Pattern for recognizing a DataSource.

Parameters:

key - the DataSource that may be recognized.

value - the Pattern to look for.

getDataSourceMatches

public static java.util.Set<DataSource> getDataSourceMatches(java.lang.String id)

Look for all DataSource patterns that match a given input.

Parameters:

id - to compare with registered patterns

Returns:

set of patterns which matches the given id.

getPatterns

public static java.util.Map<DataSource,java.util.regex.Pattern> getPatterns()

Returns:

all known data patterns, mapped to their BioDataSource. For example, this map will contain:

    BioDataSource.ENSEMBL_HUMAN -> Pattern.compile("ENSG\d+")
 

There is not guaranteed to be a Pattern for every BioDataSource constant.
