   .. py:property:: iri
      :type: owlapy.iri.IRI

      Gets the IRI of this object.

      :returns: The IRI of this object.

   .. py:property:: str

      Gets the string representation of this object

      :returns: The IRI as string

   .. py:property:: reminder
      :type: str

      The reminder of the IRI

   .. py:attribute:: __slots__
      :value: ('_iri', '_is_nothing', '_is_thing')

      

   .. py:attribute:: type_index
      :type: Final
      :value: 1001

      

   .. py:method:: is_owl_thing() -> bool

      Determines if this expression is the built in class owl:Thing. This method does not determine if the class
      is equivalent to owl:Thing.

      :returns: Thing.
      :rtype: True if this expression is owl


   .. py:method:: is_owl_nothing() -> bool

      Determines if this expression is the built in class owl:Nothing. This method does not determine if the class
      is equivalent to owl:Nothing.


   .. py:method:: get_object_complement_of() -> owlapy.class_expression.class_expression.OWLObjectComplementOf

      Gets the object complement of this class expression.

      :returns: A class expression that is the complement of this class expression.


   .. py:method:: get_nnf() -> OWLClass

      Gets the negation normal form of the complement of this expression.

      :returns: A expression that represents the NNF of the complement of this expression.
