public interface Condition
extends Expression

A condition is simply an expression. Thhe truth value of a condition needs to be evaluated with respect to a KB. By default, this KB is the one that the condition is coming from but condition can be evaluated with respect to another KB (execution environment may be different)

boolean	isTrue() Returns true if this condition is true in its own KB.
boolean	isTrue(OWLModel model, ValueMap binding) Returns true if the condition is true in the given model.

Method Detail

isTrue

boolean isTrue()

Returns true if this condition is true in its own KB. This is equivalent to the call condition.isTrue(condition.getKB(), new ValueMap()).

Returns:

isTrue

boolean isTrue(ValueMap binding)

Returns true if this condition is true in its own KB after applying the given binding. Condition expression may have some variables in it, so the binding is applied to the expression and then the resulting condition is evaluated.

Returns:

isTrue

boolean isTrue(OWLModel model,
               ValueMap binding)

Returns true if the condition is true in the given model.

Parameters:

model -

Returns:
