Parameters:

config - configuration object allowing a data factory behaviour to be tweaked. Currently this only affects the creation of OWL constructs where collections are not allowed to have duplicates.

Returns:

An OWLDataFactory that can be used for creating OWL API objects.

getOWLDataFactory

public static OWLDataFactory getOWLDataFactory()

Gets a global data factory that can be used to create OWL API objects.

Returns:

An OWLDataFactory that can be used for creating OWL API objects.

createManchesterParser

public static ManchesterOWLSyntaxParser createManchesterParser()

Returns:

an initialized manchester syntax parser for parsing strings
