Method Detail

getSubClass

OWLClassExpression getSubClass()

Gets the subclass in this axiom

Returns:

The class expression that represents the subclass in this axiom.

getSuperClass

OWLClassExpression getSuperClass()

Gets the superclass in this axiom.

Returns:

The class expression that represents the superclass in this axiom.

isGCI

boolean isGCI()

Determines if this subclass axiom has a subclass that is anonymous. (if the subclass is anonymous then the subclass axiom is known as a General Concept Inclusion - GCI).

Returns:

true if this axiom is a GCI, other wise false.

getAxiomWithoutAnnotations

OWLSubClassOfAxiom 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
