Interface IWAxiom

All Superinterfaces:

IWModelElement, IWProvenanceElement

All Known Subinterfaces:

DBAxiom, OWLAxiom

public interface IWAxiom

extends IWProvenanceElement

Represents Axioms stored in IWBase. The IWBase is a distributed repository of meta-data about items used in deriving answers like axioms, inference rules etc. The IWAxiom class stores meta data about axioms.

Method Summary

java.lang.String	getClassName() GUESS Returns the OWL class name of the axiom.
java.lang.String	getContent() Returns the content i.e.
IWLanguage	getLanguage() Returns the language in which the axiom is encoded.
java.lang.String[]	getLanguageName() Returns the name of the language in which the axiom is encoded.
void	setContent(java.lang.String _newContent) Sets the content i.e.
void	setLanguage(IWLanguage _newLanguage) Sets the name of the language in which the axiom is encoded.

Returns the name of the language in which the axiom is encoded.

Returns:

An array of strings of length 1 where the first element is the name of the language in which the axiom is encoded

setLanguage

public void setLanguage(IWLanguage _newLanguage)

Sets the name of the language in which the axiom is encoded.

getContent

public java.lang.String getContent()

Returns:

a string corresponding to the content of the axiom

setContent

public void setContent(java.lang.String _newContent)
