org.semanticweb.owlapi.change.SplitSubClassAxioms

All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, OWLCompositeOntologyChange

public class SplitSubClassAxioms
extends AbstractCompositeOntologyChange

Given a set of ontologies, this composite change will replace all subclass axioms in each ontology, whose super class is an object intersection (conjunction) with multiple subclass axioms - one for each conjunct. For example, A subClassOf (B and C), would be replaced with two subclass axioms, A subClassOf B, and A subClassOf C.

2.1.1
