Method Detail

getSubClass

OWLClassExpression getSubClass()

getSuperClass

OWLClassExpression getSuperClass()

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
