/**
 * This utility class can be used to obtain an object property expression in its
 * simplest form. Let P be an object property name and PE a property expression,
 * then the simplification is inductively defined as: simp(P) = P simp(inv(P)) =
 * inv(P) simp(inv(inv(PE)) = simp(PE)
 *
 * @author Matthew Horridge, The University Of Manchester, Information
 *         Management Group
 * @since 2.2.0
 * @deprecated Legal Object property expressions should always be irreducible -
 *             the standard specifies that inv : P -> PE , not PE -> PE,
 *             so inv (inv P) is an error . Versions of the OWLAPI prior to
 *             4.1.0 did not check for this.
