public class OWLClassImpl

extends OWLEntityImpl

implements OWLClass, org.semanticweb.owl.impl.model.OWLDeprecatableObjectImpl

An OWL Class represents a named class within an ontology. If "anonymous" classes are used within descriptions, then the appropriate description should be used. A Class may have a number of definitions associated with it.

Method Detail

getSuperClasses

public Set getSuperClasses(OWLOntology o)

Returns the explicit superclasses of this class in the given ontology. Returns a collection of OWLFrames. Each frame in this list provides necessary conditions for class membership.

Specified by:

getSuperClasses in interface OWLClass

getSuperClasses

public Set getSuperClasses(Set ontos)

Returns the explicit superclasses of this class in the given ontologies. Returns a collection of OWLFrames. Each frame in this list provides necessary conditions for class membership.

Specified by:

getSuperClasses in interface OWLClass

getSuperClasses

public Set getSuperClasses()

Returns the explicit superclasses of this class. Returns a collection of OWLFrames. Each frame in this list provides necessary conditions for class membership.

getEquivalentClasses

public Set getEquivalentClasses(OWLOntology o)

Returns the equivalent classes in the given ontology. Returns a collection of OWLFrames. Each frame in this list provides necessary conditions for class membership.

Specified by:

getEquivalentClasses in interface OWLClass

getEquivalentClasses

public Set getEquivalentClasses(Set ontos)

Returns the equivalent classes in the given ontology. Returns a collection of OWLFrames. Each frame in this list provides necessary conditions for class membership.

Specified by:

getEquivalentClasses in interface OWLClass

getEquivalentClasses

public Set getEquivalentClasses()

Returns equivalent classes to this class. Returns a collection of OWLFrames. Each frame in the list provides necessary and sufficient conditions for the class. There may be several equivalences in which case all are deemed to be equivalent.

getEnumerations

public Set getEnumerations(OWLOntology o)

Returns the enumerations that have been asserted as being equivalent to this class in the given ontology. Each Enumeration in the collection provides an enumeration of all the individuals in the class. Note that if this collection contains more than one enumeration, then implicit equivalances between individuals may be being asserted.

Specified by:

getEnumerations in interface OWLClass

getEnumerations

public Set getEnumerations(Set ontos)

Returns the enumerations that have been asserted as being equivalent to this class in the given ontologies. Each Enumeration in the collection provides an enumeration of all the individuals in the class. Note that if this collection contains more than one enumeration, then implicit equivalances between individuals may be being asserted.

Specified by:

getEnumerations in interface OWLClass

getEnumerations

public Set getEnumerations()

Returns the enumerations that have been asserted as being equivalent to this class. Each Enumeration in the collection provides an enumeration of all the individuals in the class. Note that if this collection contains more than one enumeration, then implicit equivalances between individuals may be being asserted.

isDeprecated

public boolean isDeprecated(OWLOntology o)

Specified by:

isDeprecated in interface OWLDeprecatableObject

setDeprecated

public void setDeprecated(OWLOntology o,
                          boolean b)

Specified by:
