Constructor OntClass (line 27)

Constructor You can supply a uri

  • access: public
OntClass OntClass ([string $uri = null])
  • string $uri
addSubClass (line 39)

Add a sub-class of this class.

  • access: public
boolean addSubClass (object ResResource $resResource)
  • object ResResource $resResource
addSuperClass (line 51)

Add a super-class of this class.

  • access: public
boolean addSuperClass (object ResResource $resResource)

createInstance (line 278)

Answer a resource that represents an instance of this OntClass and Individual node in this model.

If a resource with the given uri exists in the model, it will be re-used. If not, a new one is created in the updateable sub-model of the ontology model.

  • access: public
object Individual createInstance ([string $uri = null])
  • string $uri
getSubClass (line 63)

Answer a class that is the sub-class of this class.

If there is more than one such class, an arbitrary selection is made.

  • return: or NULL
  • access: public
object OntClass getSubClass ()
getSuperClass (line 79)

Answer a class that is the super-class of this class.

If there is more than one such class, an arbitrary selection is made.

  • return: or NULL
  • access: public
object OntClass getSuperClass ()
hasSubclass (line 94)

Answer true if the given class is a sub-class of this class.

$direct - If true, only search the classes that are directly adjacent to this class in the class hierarchy.

  • access: public
boolean hasSubclass (object ResResource $resResource, [boolean $direct = true])
  • object ResResource $resResource
  • boolean $direct
hasSuperClass (line 113)

Answer true if the given class is a super-class of this class.

$direct - If true, only search the classes that are directly adjacent to this class in the class hierarchy.

  • access: public
boolean hasSuperClass (object ResResource $resResource, [boolean $direct = true])
  • object ResResource $resResource
  • boolean $direct
listInstances (line 129)

Answer an ResIterator over the individuals in the model that have this class among their types.

  • access: public
object ResIterator listInstances ()
listSubClasses (line 160)

Answer an array over the classes that are declared to be sub-classes of this class.

Each element of the array will be an OntClass. $direct - If true, only search the classes that are directly adjacent to this class in the class hierarchy.

  • access: public
array listSubClasses ([boolean $direct = true])
  • boolean $direct
listSuperClasses (line 195)

Answer an array over the classes that are declared to be super-classes of this class.

Each element of the array will be an OntClass. $direct - If true, only search the classes that are directly adjacent to this class in the class hierarchy.

  • access: public
array listSuperClasses ([boolean $direct = true])
  • boolean $direct
removeSubClass (line 223)

Remove the given class from the sub-classes of this class.

  • access: public
boolean removeSubClass (object ResResource $resResource)
  • object ResResource $resResource
removeSuperClass (line 235)
