Method Detail

isAnonymous

boolean isAnonymous()

Determines if this property expression is anonymous.

Specified by:

isAnonymous in interface IsAnonymous

Returns:

true if the property expression is anonymous (because it is the inverse of a property). false if this property is a named object property or named data property.

accept

void accept(@Nonnull
            OWLPropertyExpressionVisitor visitor)

Parameters:

visitor - visitor to accept

accept

@Nonnull
<O> O accept(@Nonnull
             OWLPropertyExpressionVisitorEx<O> visitor)

Type Parameters:

O - visitor return type

Parameters:

visitor - visitor to accept

Returns:

visitor value

isDataPropertyExpression

boolean isDataPropertyExpression()

Returns:

true if this is a data property

isObjectPropertyExpression

boolean isObjectPropertyExpression()

Returns:

true if this is an object property

isOWLTopObjectProperty

boolean isOWLTopObjectProperty()

Determines if this is the owl:topObjectProperty.

Returns:

true if this property is the owl:topObjectProperty otherwise false

isOWLBottomObjectProperty

boolean isOWLBottomObjectProperty()

Determines if this is the owl:bottomObjectProperty.

Returns:

true if this property is the owl:bottomObjectProperty otherwise false

isOWLTopDataProperty

boolean isOWLTopDataProperty()

Determines if this is the owl:topDataProperty.

Returns:

true if this property is the owl:topDataProperty otherwise false

isOWLBottomDataProperty

boolean isOWLBottomDataProperty()

Determines if this is the owl:bottomDataProperty.

Returns:

true if this property is the owl:bottomDataProperty otherwise false
