Method Detail

### setReasonerTaskListener

    public void setReasonerTaskListener(ReasonerTaskListener reasonerTaskListener)

  Description copied from interface: `ProtegeReasoner`

  Specified by:
    `setReasonerTaskListener` in interface `ProtegeReasoner`

### getReasonerTaskListener

    public ReasonerTaskListener getReasonerTaskListener()

  Specified by:
    `getReasonerTaskListener` in interface `ProtegeReasoner`

### setOWLModel

    public void setOWLModel(OWLModel owlModel)

  Description copied from interface: `ProtegeReasoner`
  Sets the OWL model that will be attached to this reasoner. The reasoner may do in this method a clean-up of the previously attached OWL model.

  Specified by:
    `setOWLModel` in interface `ProtegeReasoner`

### dispose

    public void dispose()

  Specified by:
    `dispose` in interface `edu.stanford.smi.protege.util.Disposable`

### initialize

    public void initialize()

  Description copied from interface: `ProtegeReasoner`
  This is an optional method that can be called by applications and that gives the reasoner a chance to do some pre-computations.

  Specified by:
    `initialize` in interface `ProtegeReasoner`

### rebind

    public void rebind()

  Description copied from interface: `ProtegeReasoner`
  Resynchronizes the reasoner with the OWL model. This usually implies a reset and a reload of the entire OWL model and can be an expensive operation. This is a useful method if the OWL model has changed, but the reasoner is not aware of the changes.

  Specified by:
    `rebind` in interface `ProtegeReasoner`

### classifyTaxonomy

  Description copied from interface: `ProtegeReasoner`
  For each named class in the ontology, this method queries the reasoner for the consistency of the class, its inferred super classes and its inferred equivalent classes. The method updates the protege-owl structures that hold this information, meaning that methods on `RDFSClass` such as `getInferredSuperClasses` will return meaningful results.

  For each named class in the ontology, this method queries the reasoner to obtain its inferred superclasses. This information is then pieced together to form the inferred hierarchy. The method updates the protege-owl structures that hold information about inferred superclasses, which means that methods such as `getInferredSuperClasses` on `RDFSClass` will return meaningful results.

  Specified by:
    `computeInferredHierarchy` in interface `ProtegeReasoner`
  Throws:
    `ProtegeReasonerException`

  Depending on the implementation of the ProtegeGenericReasoner, some kind of caching may be used. This method will force the ProtegeOWLReasoner to synchronize the contents of the reasoner prior to the next query.

  Depending on the implementation of the ProtegeOWLReasoner, the DIG reasoner may automatically be sunchronized with changes in the Protege-OWL knowledgebase. This method will enable/disable this autosynchronization (if it is used). Note that if reasoner synchronisation is disabled, and then it is subsequently necessary to resynchronise the reasoner, the `forceReasonerReSynchronization` method should be used.

  Specified by:

  Parameters:
    `b` - `true` to enable autosync, or `false` to disable autosync.

### isAutoSynchronizationEnabled
