All Known Implementing Classes:

IRI, OWLOntologyID

public interface IsAnonymous

Anonymous or named object interface. Named OWLObjects have an IRI; this includes OWLClass, OWLDataProperty, OWLObjectProperty, OWLDatatype, OWLAnnotationProperty and OWLNamedIndividual instances. OWLOntology instances also have an IRI or can be anonymous, depending on the contents of their ontology id. Ontologies are mutable and therefore can switch from anonymous to named, when their id is changed; all other objects are immutable, and therefore will not change from anonymous to named.

Method Summary

Method Detail

isAnonymous

default boolean isAnonymous()

Returns:

true if this object is anonymous, false otherwise. For example, class expressions are anonymous while class entities are not (they have an IRI); OWLNamedIndividual instances are named, OWLAnonymousIndividual instances are anonymous. An ontology is anonymous if it does not have an ontology IRI. In this case, getOntologyID().getOntologyIRI() will return an empty optional.

isNamed

default boolean isNamed()

Returns:

true if this object is named, false otherwise. For example, class entities are named (they have an IRI) while class expressions are anonymous; OWLNamedIndividual instances are named, OWLAnonymousIndividual instances are anonymous.
