Method Detail

getAxiomWithoutAnnotations

OWLDifferentIndividualsAxiom 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

containsAnonymousIndividuals

boolean containsAnonymousIndividuals()

Determines whether this axiom contains anonymous individuals. Anonymous individuals are not allowed in different individuals axioms.

Returns:

true if this axioms contains anonymous individual axioms

asPairwiseAxioms

java.util.Set<OWLDifferentIndividualsAxiom> asPairwiseAxioms()

Description copied from interface: OWLNaryAxiom

Gets this axiom as a set of pairwise axioms. Note that annotations on this axiom will not be copied to each axiom returned in the set of pairwise axioms.

Specified by:

asPairwiseAxioms in interface OWLNaryAxiom

Returns:

This axiom as a set of pairwise axioms.
