Method Detail

getPropertyChain

java.util.List<OWLObjectPropertyExpression> getPropertyChain()

getSuperProperty

OWLObjectPropertyExpression getSuperProperty()

isEncodingOfTransitiveProperty

boolean isEncodingOfTransitiveProperty()
Determines if this axiom is of the form: P o P -> P, which is an encoding of Transitive(P)

Returns:
true if this encodes that the super property is transitive, otherwise false.

getAxiomWithoutAnnotations

OWLSubPropertyChainOfAxiom 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
