Method Detail

isAnonymous

boolean isAnonymous()

Determines if this rule is anonymous. Rules may be named using URIs.

Returns:

true if this rule is anonymous and therefore doesn't have a URI.

getURI

java.net.URI getURI()

getBody

java.util.Set<SWRLAtom> getBody()

Gets the atoms in the body

Returns:

A set of SWRLAtoms, which represent the atoms in the body of the rule.

getHead

java.util.Set<SWRLAtom> getHead()

Gets the atoms in the head.

Returns:

A set of SWRLAtoms, which represent the atoms in the head of the rule
