AnnotationClasses (Openllet :: Core 2.6.5 API)

java.lang.Object
- openllet.core.utils.AnnotationClasses

```
public class AnnotationClasses
extends java.lang.Object
```
In some ontologies, such as the ones from OBO, annotations may be nested and contain type assertions on annotation values. Such type assertions will be treated as regular assertions and processed by the reasoner. This causes many superfluous logical axioms to be considered by the reasoner which might have significant impact on performance. The OpenlletOptions.IGNORE_ANNOTATION_CLASSES option tells Pellet to ignore such annotations. The set of classes that will be treated as annotation classes are stored in this class. This set can be modified by adding new classes or removing existing classes.
Annotation classes from OBO are included by default. These are obo:DbXref, obo:Definition, obo:Subset, obo:Synonym, obo:SynonymType where obo namespace refers to http://www.geneontology.org/formats/oboInOwl.

  - add
```
public static void add(openllet.aterm.ATermAppl cls)
```
    Adds the specified class to the set of annotation classes.
    
    Parameters:
    
    cls - class to add
  - contains
```
public static boolean contains(openllet.aterm.ATermAppl cls)
```
    Parameters:
    
    cls - class to check
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the specified class is defined to be an annotation class AND OpenlletOptions.IGNORE_ANNOTATION_CLASSES option is set to true. If the configuration option is false this function will return false for every class.
  - remove
```
public static void remove(openllet.aterm.ATermAppl cls)
```
    Removes the specified class form set of annotation classes.
    
    Parameters:
    
    cls - class to remove.
  - getAll
```
public static java.util.Set<openllet.aterm.ATermAppl> getAll()
```
    Returns:
    
    an unmodifiable copy of the annotation classes regardless of the OpenlletOptions.IGNORE_ANNOTATION_CLASSES option.
