Represents AnnotationAssertion axioms in the OWL 2 specification.

Method Summary

OWLAnnotation	getAnnotation() Gets the combination of the annotation property and the annotation value as an OWLAnnotation object.
OWLAnnotationAssertionAxiom	getAxiomWithoutAnnotations() Gets an axiom that is structurally equivalent to this axiom without annotations.
OWLAnnotationProperty	getProperty() Gets the annotation property.
OWLAnnotationSubject	getSubject() Gets the subject of the annotation assertion.
OWLAnnotationValue	getValue() Gets the annotation value.
boolean	isDeprecatedIRIAssertion() Determines if this annotation assertion deprecates the IRI that is the subject of the annotation.

Method Detail

getSubject

OWLAnnotationSubject getSubject()

Gets the subject of the annotation assertion. This is either an IRI or an OWLAnonymousIndividual.

Returns:

The subject of the annotation

getProperty

OWLAnnotationProperty getProperty()

Gets the annotation property.

Returns:

The annotation property.

getValue

OWLAnnotationValue getValue()

Gets the annotation value. This is either an IRI, an OWLAnonymousIndividual or an OWLLiteral. Annotation values can be visited with an OWLAnnotationValueVisitor.

Returns:

The annotation value.

org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.OWLAnnotationValueVisitor}, OWLAnnotationValueVisitorEx}

getAnnotation

OWLAnnotation getAnnotation()

Gets the combination of the annotation property and the annotation value as an OWLAnnotation object.

Returns:

The annotation object that combines the property and value of this annotation.

isDeprecatedIRIAssertion

boolean isDeprecatedIRIAssertion()

Determines if this annotation assertion deprecates the IRI that is the subject of the annotation.

Returns:

true if this annotation assertion deprecates the subject IRI of the assertion, otherwise false.

See Also:

OWLAnnotation#isDeprecatedIRIAnnotation()}

getAxiomWithoutAnnotations

OWLAnnotationAssertionAxiom getAxiomWithoutAnnotations()

Description copied from interface: OWLAxiom

Gets an axiom that is structurally equivalent to this axiom without annotations. This essentially returns a version of this axiom stripped of any annotations

Specified by:

getAxiomWithoutAnnotations in interface OWLAxiom

Returns:

The annotationless version of this axiom
