Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
default OWLClass	asOWLClass() A convenience method that obtains this entity as an OWLClass (in order to avoid explicit casting).
default boolean	isOWLClass() A convenience method that determines if this entity is an OWLClass.

Method Detail

isOWLClass

default boolean isOWLClass()

A convenience method that determines if this entity is an OWLClass.

Returns:

true if this entity is an OWLClass, otherwise false

asOWLClass

default OWLClass asOWLClass()

A convenience method that obtains this entity as an OWLClass (in order to avoid explicit casting).

Returns:

The entity as an OWLClass.

Throws:

OWLRuntimeException - if this entity is not an OWLClass (check with isOWLClass() first).
