Constructor Detail

PropertyDomainInferer

public PropertyDomainInferer(boolean keepExistingDomains,
                             boolean enableGeneralization,
                             boolean allowThingDomain)

Creates a new property domain inferer, that infers property domains by looking at instances in the ontology.

Parameters:

keepExistingDomains - Whether to keep domains already defined in the ontology. An existing domain may still be removed when the generalizer decides to add a superclass of the existing domain class to the domain. An existing owl:Thing domain will be removed when allowThingDomain is set to false. Defaults to true.

enableGeneralization - Whether to use the generalization engine is used to find abstract superclasses of domain classes. Defaults to true.

allowThingDomain - Whether the domain may contain owl:Thing. Defaults to false.

                             boolean enableGeneralization)

Parameters:

keepExistingDomains - Whether to keep domains already defined in the ontology. An existing domain may still be removed when the generalizer decides to add a superclass of the existing domain class to the domain. An existing owl:Thing domain will be removed when allowThingDomain is set to false. Defaults to true.

enableGeneralization - Whether to use the generalization engine is used to find abstract superclasses of domain classes. Defaults to true.
