public class OWLFrameImpl

extends OWLObjectImpl

implements OWLFrame

A frame packages up a top-level description of a class, and consists of a number of superclasses and a number of restrictions. Although OWLFrame doesn't have a direct counterpart in OWL (or in DAML+OIL), the notion of a frame was a particularly useful one in the OilEd implementation as it provides a user-friendly view on ontology descriptions. The semantics of a frame is simply the conjunction of the superclass descriptions and restrictions.
