All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, OWLCompositeOntologyChange

public class MakePrimitiveSubClassesMutuallyDisjoint
extends AbstractCompositeOntologyChange

For a given class, this composite change makes its told primitive subclasses mutually disjoint. For example, if B, C, and D are primitive subclasses of A then this composite change will make B, C, and D mutually disjoint.
More formally, for a given class, A, and a set of ontologies, S, this method will obtain a set of classes, G, where all classes in G are named and primitive. Moreover, for any class, B in G, some ontology O in S will contain an axiom, SubClassOf(B, A). All classes in G will be made mutually disjoint by creating axiom(s) in a target ontology T.
This composite change supports a common design pattern where primitive subclasses of a class are made mutually disjoint.

2.1.0
