Constructor Details

ExistentialRestriction

public ExistentialRestriction(AtomicRole r,
 ComplexConcept c)

Creates a new ALC existential restriction with the given role and concept.

Parameters:

r - the role

c - the concept that is being restricted by the role

ExistentialRestriction

public ExistentialRestriction(Pair<AtomicRole,ComplexConcept> f)

Constructor

Parameters:

f - pair of role and concept

Method Details

getFormulas

public Pair<AtomicRole,ComplexConcept> getFormulas()

Return the (atomic) role and the concept that are part of the existential restriction.

Returns:

the (atomic) role and the concept that are part of the existential restriction.

getRole

public AtomicRole getRole()

Return the (atomic) role of the existential restriction.

Returns:

the (atomic) role of the existential restriction.

getConcept

public ComplexConcept getConcept()

Return the concept of the existential restriction.

Returns:

the concept of the existential restriction.

getSignature

public DlSignature getSignature()

Description copied from interface: Formula

Returns the signature of the language of this formula.

Specified by:

getSignature in interface Formula

Specified by:

getSignature in class ComplexConcept
