Notes:

  • The function supports saving in multiple formats: Turtle, RDF/XML, and OWL/XML.

  • The inferred axioms are generated using the reasoner associated with this instance and the OWL API’s InferredClassAssertionAxiomGenerator.

  • The inferred axioms are added to a new ontology which is then saved in the specified format.

Example:

>>> instance.generate_and_save_inferred_class_assertion_axioms(output="inferred_axioms.ttl", format="ttl")
This will save the inferred class assertion axioms to the file "inferred_axioms.ttl" in Turtle format.
is_entailed(axiom: owlapy.owl_axiom.OWLAxiom) bool[source]

A convenience method that determines if the specified axiom is entailed by the set of reasoner axioms.

Parameters:

axiom – The axiom to check for entailment.

Returns:

True if the axiom is entailed by the reasoner axioms and False otherwise.

is_satisfiable(ce: owlapy.class_expression.OWLClassExpression) bool[source]

A convenience method that determines if the specified class expression is satisfiable with respect to the reasoner axioms.

Parameters:

ce – The class expression to check for satisfiability.

Returns:

True if the class expression is satisfiable by the reasoner axioms and False otherwise.

unsatisfiable_classes()[source]

A convenience method that obtains the classes in the signature of the root ontology that are unsatisfiable.

get_root_ontology() owlapy.abstracts.abstract_owl_ontology.AbstractOWLOntology[source]

Gets the “root” ontology that is loaded into this reasoner. The reasoner takes into account the axioms in this ontology and its import’s closure.
