Method Detail

getIndividual

OWLIndividual getIndividual()

Gets the individual that is asserted to be an instance of a class expression by this axiom.

Returns:

The individual

getClassExpression

OWLClassExpression getClassExpression()

Gets the class expression that is asserted to be a type for an individual by this axiom.

Returns:

The class expression

getAxiomWithoutAnnotations

OWLClassAssertionAxiom 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
