Method Detail

isNamedConjunct

public boolean isNamedConjunct(OWLClass conj,
                               OWLClassExpression classExpression)

Parameters:

conj - The conjunct to check for

classExpression - The expression to be checked

Returns:

true ifa named class is a conjunct in a given class expression. For class expressions which aren't named classes or object intersections this method will always return false.

hasNamedConjunct

public boolean hasNamedConjunct(OWLClassExpression classExpression)

Checks whether the specified expression has a named conjunct. For For class expressions which aren't named classes or object intersections this method will always return false.

Parameters:

classExpression - The expression to be checked.

Returns:

true if the expression is in fact a named class ( OWLClass) or if the expression is an intersection that has a named operand (included nested intersections), otherwise false

getNamedConjuncts

public Set<OWLClass> getNamedConjuncts(OWLClassExpression classExpression)

Gets the named conjuncts for the specified expression.

Parameters:

classExpression - The expression whose conjuncts are to be retrieved.

Returns:

A set containing the named conjuncts of the specified expression. If the expression is not a named class or an intersection then the set will definitely be empty.
