Given a set of ontologies S, for each ontology, O, in S, this change combines multiple subclass axioms with a common left hand side into one subclass axiom. For example, given A subClassOf B, A subClassOf C, this change will remove these two axioms and replace them by adding one subclass axiom, A subClassOf (B and C).
