Method Detail

hashIndex

default int hashIndex()

Specified by:

hashIndex in interface HasHashIndex

Returns:

index for this type. This is not a hashcode for instances, rather a hashcode for the types.

typeIndex

default int typeIndex()

Specified by:

typeIndex in interface HasIndex

Returns:

index for this type. This is not a hashcode for instances, rather a sorting index for the types.

getEntityType

default EntityType<?> getEntityType()

Description copied from interface: OWLEntity

Gets the entity type for this entity.

Specified by:

getEntityType in interface OWLEntity

Returns:

The entity type

getClassExpressionType

default ClassExpressionType getClassExpressionType()

Description copied from interface: OWLClassExpression

Gets the class expression type for this class expression.

Specified by:

getClassExpressionType in interface OWLClassExpression

Returns:

The class expression type

isTopEntity

default boolean isTopEntity()

Description copied from interface: OWLObject

Determines if this object is either, owl:Thing (the top class), owl:topObjectProperty (the top object property) , owl:topDataProperty (the top data property) or rdfs:Literal (the top datatype).

Specified by:

isTopEntity in interface OWLObject

Returns:

true if this object corresponds to one of the above entities.

isBottomEntity

default boolean isBottomEntity()

Description copied from interface: OWLObject

Determines if this object is either, owl:Nothing (the bottom class), owl:bottomObjectProperty (the bottom object property) , owl:bottomDataProperty (the bottom data property).

Specified by:

isBottomEntity in interface OWLObject

Returns:

true if this object corresponds to one of the above entities.

isClassExpressionLiteral

default boolean isClassExpressionLiteral()

Description copied from interface: OWLClassExpression

Determines if this class is a literal. A literal being either a named class or the negation of a named class (i.e. A or not(A)).

Specified by:

isClassExpressionLiteral in interface OWLClassExpression

Returns:

true if this is a literal, or false if this is not a literal.

isOWLClass

default boolean isOWLClass()

Description copied from interface: AsOWLClass

A convenience method that determines if this entity is an OWLClass.

Specified by:

isOWLClass in interface AsOWLClass

Returns:

true if this entity is an OWLClass, otherwise false
