Method Detail

getPropertyChain

java.util.List<OWLObjectPropertyExpression> getPropertyChain()

getSuperProperty

OWLObjectPropertyExpression getSuperProperty()

isEncodingOfTransitiveProperty

boolean isEncodingOfTransitiveProperty()

Determines if this axiom is of the form: P o P -> P, which is an encoding of Transitive(P)

Returns:

true if this encodes that the super property is transitive, otherwise false.
