All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, OWLCompositeOntologyChange

public class AddClassExpressionClosureAxiom
extends AbstractCompositeOntologyChange

This composite change adds a 'closure' axiom to an ontology for a given class and object property. In this case, a closure axiom is defined for a given class, A, and object property, P, to be a subclass axiom, whose subclass is class A, and whose superclass is a universal restriction along the property, P, whose filler is the union of any other existential (including hasValue restrictions - i.e. nominals) restriction fillers that are the superclasses of class A.
This code is based on the tutorial examples by Sean Bechhofer (see the tutorial module).

Constructor Details

AddClassExpressionClosureAxiom

public AddClassExpressionClosureAxiom(OWLDataFactory dataFactory,
 OWLClass cls,
 OWLObjectPropertyExpression property,
 Collection<OWLOntology> ontologies,
 OWLOntology targetOntology)

Creates a composite change that will add a closure axiom for a given class along a specified property.

Parameters:

dataFactory - The data factory that should be used to create the necessary objects

cls - The class for which the closure axiom will be generated

property - The property that the closure axiom will act along

ontologies - The ontologies that will be examined for subclass axioms

targetOntology - The target ontology that changes will be applied to.
