public class OWLEntityRemover extends Object implements OWLEntityVisitor
A convenience object that generates the changes which are necessary to remove an entity from a set of ontologies. This is accomplished by removing all axioms that refer to the entity. The entity remover follows the visitor design pattern, entities that need to be removed from an ontology should accept visits from the entity remover. Changes are accumulated as the entity remover visits various entities.
