Method Detail

createAnonymousInstance

public RDFResource createAnonymousInstance()

Creates an instance of this class so that Protege will recognize this as an "anonymous" node in the RDF rendering. Protege uses an internal naming convention to simulate anonymous nodes.

Returns:

a new, anonymous instance of this

See Also:

OWLModel.getNextAnonymousResourceName(), OWLModel.isAnonymousResource(edu.stanford.smi.protegex.owl.model.RDFResource)

createRDFIndividual

public RDFIndividual createRDFIndividual(String name)

Creates a new individual of this (assuming this is not a metaclass).

Parameters:

name - the name of the new instance or null for a default value

Returns:

the new instance

getAssociatedProperties

public Set getAssociatedProperties()

Gets all properties that have been associated with this class. This includes all properties that have this in their union domain. If this is an OWL class, then it also includes all domainless properties that have been mentioned in any restriction on this class, except those that have been restricted to a maximum cardinality of 0. It also includes all subproperties of the aforementioned properties.

This method is for example used to determine which properties shall appear by default on a class form.

Returns:

the associated properties

getFirstSuperclass

public RDFSClass getFirstSuperclass()

A convenience method to get the first direct superclass of this. This method is typically used if it is known that there is only one parent, e.g. in simple hierarchies.

Returns:

the first superclass

isFunctionalProperty

public boolean isFunctionalProperty(RDFProperty property)

Checks whether a given property is "functional" at this class. A property is "functional" if it is declared to be owl:FunctionalProperty or if this is an OWLNamedClass with a max cardinality restriction or 0 or 1.

Parameters:

property - the property to test

Returns:

true if property is functional at this class

getUnionRangeClasses

public Collection getUnionRangeClasses(RDFProperty property)

Gets the allowed classes for a given property at this class. This assumes that the property takes objects as values. The method tests whether an allValuesFrom restriction has been defined on this class, and resolves this into a collection if the restriction has a union class as filler. If no restriction could be found in the inheritance hierarchy, the method looks for a global range restriction for the property.

Parameters:

property - the property to get the local range of

Returns:

a Collection of RDFSClasses

isVisibleFromOWLThing

public boolean isVisibleFromOWLThing()

Checks whether this and a path to the root class is visible.

Returns:

true if visible
