Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
List<OWLOntologyChange>	applyChanges(OWLOntology o) If the builder is constructing an axiom, this method will add the axiom and all needed changes to make the ontology fit in the expected profile; the changes will be returned but there is no need to apply them, as they have already been applied.
T	buildObject()

Method Detail

buildObject

@Nonnull
T buildObject()

Returns:

freshly built object

applyChanges

@Nonnull
List<OWLOntologyChange> applyChanges(@Nonnull
                                              OWLOntology o)

If the builder is constructing an axiom, this method will add the axiom and all needed changes to make the ontology fit in the expected profile; the changes will be returned but there is no need to apply them, as they have already been applied.

Parameters:

o - ontology

Returns:

changes the ontology to which the changes should be applied
