Class OWLPunningDetector

java.lang.Object

org.dllearner.reasoning.OWLPunningDetector

public class OWLPunningDetector
extends Object

OWL 1 DL required a strict separation between the names of, e.g., classes and individuals. OWL 2 DL relaxes this separation somewhat to allow different uses of the same term, e.g., Eagle, to be used for both a class, the class of all Eagles, and an individual, the individual representing the species Eagle belonging to the (meta)class of all plant and animal species. However, OWL 2 DL still imposes certain restrictions: it requires that a name cannot be used for both a class and a datatype and that a name can only be used for one kind of property. The OWL 2 Direct Semantics treats the different uses of the same name as completely separate, as is required in DL reasoners.

Method Detail

hasPunning

Checks whether the ontology contains punning, i.e. entities declared as both, class and individual.

Parameters:

ontology - the OWL ontology

Returns:

TRUE if there is at least one entity that is both, class and individual, otherwise FALSE

                                 org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.IRI iri)

Checks whether the same IRI denotes both a class and an individual in the ontology.

Parameters:

ontology - the OWL ontology

iri - the entity IRI

Returns:

TRUE if the IRI is used as both, class and individual, otherwise FALSE
