All Known Implementing Classes:

OWLSubPropertyChainAxiomImpl

public interface OWLSubPropertyChainOfAxiom
extends OWLObjectPropertyAxiom

Represents a SubObjectPropertyOf axiom in the OWL 2 Specification where the subproperty is a chain of properties. Note that this axiom type is not explicit in the OWL 2 specification, but it is included in the OWL API as a convenience to the programmer.

Since:

2.0.0

Method Detail

getPropertyChain

@Nonnull
List<OWLObjectPropertyExpression> getPropertyChain()

Gets the chain of properties that represents the subproperty in this axiom.

Returns:

A list of object property expressions that represents the chain of properties that represent the subproperty in this axiom.

getSuperProperty

@Nonnull
OWLObjectPropertyExpression getSuperProperty()

Gets the super property of this axiom.

Returns:

The property expression that represents the super property in this expression.

isEncodingOfTransitiveProperty

boolean isEncodingOfTransitiveProperty()

Gets the value of the property encodingOfTransitiveProperty.

getAxiomWithoutAnnotations

@Nonnull
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 axiom deprived of annotations
