/**
* An OWLReasoner reasons over a set of axioms (the set of reasoner axioms) that is based on the
* imports closure of a particular ontology - the "root" ontology. This ontology can be obtained
* using the {@link OWLReasoner#getRootOntology()} method. When the client responsible for creating
* the reasoner has finished with the reasoner instance it must call the {@link #dispose()} method
* to free any resources that are used by the reasoner. In general, reasoners should not be
* instantiated directly, but should be created using the appropriate
* {@link org.semanticweb.owlapi.reasoner.OWLReasonerFactory}.
* Ontology Change Management (Buffering and Non-Buffering Modes)
At creation time, an
* OWLReasoner will load the axioms in the root ontology imports closure. It will attach itself as a
* listener to the {@link org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.OWLOntologyManager} that manages the root
* ontology. The reasoner will listen to any {@link org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.OWLOntologyChange}s
* and respond appropriately to them before answering any queries. If the
* {@link org.semanticweb.owlapi.reasoner.BufferingMode} of the reasoner (the answer to
* {@link #getBufferingMode()} is
* {@link org.semanticweb.owlapi.reasoner.BufferingMode#NON_BUFFERING}) the ontology changes are
* processed by the reasoner immediately so that any queries asked after the changes are answered
* with respect to the changed ontologies. If the
* {@link org.semanticweb.owlapi.reasoner.BufferingMode} of the reasoner is
* {@link org.semanticweb.owlapi.reasoner.BufferingMode#BUFFERING} then ontology changes are stored
* in a buffer and are only taken into consideration when the buffer is flushed with the
* {@link #flush()} method. When reasoning, axioms in the root ontology imports closure, minus the
* axioms returned by the {@link #getPendingAxiomAdditions()} method, plus the axioms returned by
* the {@link #getPendingAxiomRemovals()} are taken into consideration.
* Note that there is no guarantee that the reasoner implementation will respond to changes in an
* incremental (and efficient manner) manner.
* Reasoner Axioms
The set of axioms that the reasoner takes into consideration when
* answering queries is known as the set of reasoner axioms. This corresponds the axioms in
* the imports closure of the root ontology plus the axioms returned by the
* {@link #getPendingAxiomRemovals()} minus the axioms returned by
* {@link #getPendingAxiomAdditions()}
* Nodes
The reasoner interface contains methods that return
* {@link org.semanticweb.owlapi.reasoner.NodeSet}s. These are sets of
* {@link org.semanticweb.owlapi.reasoner.Node}s. A {@code Node} contains entities.
* For a {@code Node<OWLClass>} of classes, each class in the node is equivalent to the other
* classes in the {@code Node} with respect to the imports closure of the root ontology.
* For a {@code Node<OWLObjectProperty>} of object properties, each object property in the
* {@code Node} is equivalent to the other object properties in the node with respect to the imports
* closure of the root ontology.
* For a {@code Node<OWLDataProperty>} of data properties, each data property in the
* {@code Node} is equivalent to the other data properties in the node with respect to the imports
* closure of the root ontology.
* For a {@code Node<OWLNamedIndividual>} of named individuals, each individual in the node is
* the same as the other individuals in the node with respect to the imports closure of the root
* ontology.
* By abuse of notation, we say that a {@code NodeSet} "contains" an entity if that entity is
* contained in one of the {@code Nodes} in the {@code NodeSet}.
* Hierarchies
A hierarchy (class hierarchy, object property hierarchy, data property
* hierarchy) is viewed as a directed acyclic graph (DAG) containing nodes connected via edges. Each
* node in the hierarchy represents a set of entities that are equivalent to each other. Each
* hierarchy has a top node (see org.semanticweb.owlapi.reasoner.Node#isTopNode()) and a bottom node
* (see org.semanticweb.owlapi.reasoner.Node#isBottomNode()).
* The figure below shows an example class hierarchy. Each box in the hierarchy represents a
* {@code Node}. In this case the top node contains {@code owl:Thing} and the bottom node contains
* {@code owl:Nothing} because the nodes in the hierarchy are {@code OWLClass} nodes. In this case,
* class {@code G} is equivalent to {@code owl:Thing} so it appears as an entity in the top node
* along with {@code owl:Thing}. Similarly, class {@code K} is unsatisfiable, so it is equivalent to
* {@code owl:Nothing}, and therefore appears in the bottom node containing {@code owl:Nothing}. In
* this example, classes {@code A} and {@code B} are equivalent so they appear in one node, also,
* classes {@code D} and {@code F} are equivalent so they appear in one node.
* Asking for the subclasses of a given class (expression) returns the a {@code NodeSet} containing
* the nodes that contain classes that are strict subclasses of the specified class (expression).
* For example, asking for the subclasses of class {@code C} returns the {@code NodeSet}
* {@code {E}} and {@code {owl:Nothing, K}}.
* Asking for the direct subclasses of a given class (expression) returns the {@code NodeSet} that
* contains the nodes that contains classes that are direct subclasses of the specified class. For
* example, asking for the direct subclasses of class {@code A} returns the {@code NodeSet}
* containing the nodes {@code {C}} and {@code {D, F}}. Note that there are
* convenience methods on {@link NodeSet} and {@link org.semanticweb.owlapi.reasoner.Node} that can
* be used to directly access the entities in a {@code NodeSet} without having to iterate over the
* nodes and entities in a {@code NodeSet}. For example, a "plain" stream of classes contained
* inside the {@code Nodes} contained inside a {@code NodeSet} can easily be obtained using the
* {@link NodeSet#entities()} method. In this case we could quickly obtain
* {@code {C, D, F}} as the direct subclasses of {@code A} simply by using the
* {@link #getSubClasses(org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.OWLClassExpression, boolean)} (with
* boolean=true) method on {@code OWLReasoner} and then we could use the {@link NodeSet#entities()}
* method on the returned {@code NodeSet} .
* Asking for equivalent classes of a class (expression) returns a {@code Node} that contains
* classes that are equivalent to the class (expression) . For example, asking for the equivalent
* classes of {@code owl:Nothing} (i.e. asking for the unsatisfiable classes) returns the
* {@code Node} {@code {owl:Nothing, K}}.
* 
* Definitions
In what follows, an extension of the
* OWL 2 Functional Syntax is given in order to
* capture notions like a class being a "direct" subclass of another class.
* StrictSubClassOf
Given two class expressions {@code CE1} and {@code CE2} and an ontology
* {@code O}, {@code CE1} is a strict subclass of {@code CE2}, written
* {@code StrictSubClassOf(CE1 CE2)} if {@code O} entails {@code SubClassOf(CE1 CE2)} and {@code O}
* does not entail {@code SubClassOf(CE2 CE1)}
* DirectSubClassOf
Given two class expressions {@code CE1} and {@code CE2} and an ontology
* {@code O}, {@code CE1} is a direct subclass of {@code CE2}, written
* {@code DirectSubClassOf(CE1 CE2)}, with respect to {@code O} if {@code O} entails
* {@code StrictSubClassOf(CE1 CE2)} and there is no class name {@code C} in the signature of
* {@code O} such that {@code O} entails {@code StrictSubClassOf(CE1 C)} and {@code O} entails
* {@code StrictSubClassOf(C CE2)}.
* StrictSubObjectPropertyOf
Given two object property expressions {@code OPE1} and
* {@code OPE2} and an ontology {@code O}, {@code OPE1} is a strict subproperty of {@code OPE2},
* written {@code StrictSubObjectPropertyOf(OPE1 OPE2)} if {@code O} entails
* {@code SubObjectPropertyOf(OPE1 OPE2)} and {@code O} does not entail
* {@code SubObjectPropertyOf(OPE2 OPE1)}
* DirectSubObjectPropertyOf
Given two object property expressions {@code OPE1} and
* {@code OPE2} and an ontology {@code O}, {@code OPE1} is a direct subproperty of
* {@code OPE2}, written {@code DirectSubObjectPropertyOf(OPE1 OPE2)}, with respect to {@code O} if
* {@code O} entails {@code StrictSubObjectPropertyOf(OPE1 OPE2)} and there is no object property
* name {@code P} in the signature of {@code O} such that {@code O} entails
* {@code StrictSubObjectPropertyOf(OPE1 P)} and {@code O} entails
* {@code StrictSubObjectPropertyOf(P OPE2)}.
* StrictSubDataPropertyOf
Given two object property expressions {@code DPE1} and
* {@code DPE2} and an ontology {@code O}, {@code DPE1} is a strict subproperty of {@code DPE2},
* written {@code StrictSubDataPropertyOf(DPE1 DPE2)} if {@code O} entails
* {@code SubDataPropertyOf(DPE1 DPE2)} and {@code O} does not entail
* {@code SubDataPropertyOf(DPE1 DPE2)}
* DirectSubDataPropertyOf
Given two data property expressions {@code DPE1} and
* {@code DPE2} and an ontology {@code O}, {@code DPE1} is a direct subproperty of
* {@code DPE2}, written {@code DirectSubDataPropertyOf(DPE1 DPE2)}, with respect to {@code O} if
* {@code O} entails {@code StrictSubDataPropertyOf(DPE1 DPE2)} and there is no data property name
* {@code P} in the signature of {@code O} such that {@code O} entails
* {@code StrictSubDataPropertyOf(DPE1 P)} and {@code O} entails
* {@code StrictSubDataPropertyOf(P DPE2)}.
* DirectClassAssertion
Given an individual {@code j} and a class expression {@code CE} and
* an ontology {@code O}, {@code CE} is a direct class assertion (type) for {@code j}, written
* {@code DirectClassAssertion(CE j)}, if {@code O} entails {@code ClassAssertion(CE j)} and there
* is no class name {@code C} in the signature of {@code O} such that {@code O} entails
* {@code ClassAssertion(C j)} and {@code O} entails {@code StrictSubClassOf(C CE)}.
* ObjectPropertyComplementOf
Given an object property expression {@code pe}, the object
* property complement of {@code pe} is written as {@code ObjectPropertyComplementOf(pe)}. The
* interpretation of {@code ObjectPropertyComplementOf(pe)} is equal to the interpretation of
* {@code owl:topObjectProperty} minus the interpretation of {@code pe}. In other words,
* {@code ObjectPropertyComplementOf(pe)} is the set of pairs of individuals that are not in
* {@code pe}.
* DataPropertyComplementOf
Given a data property expression {@code pe} , the data property
* complement of {@code pe} is written as {@code DataPropertyComplementOf(pe)}. The interpretation
* of {@code DataPropertyComplementOf(pe)} is equal to the interpretation of
* {@code owl:topDataProperty} minus the interpretation of {@code pe}. In other words,
* {@code DataPropertyComplementOf(pe)} is the set of pairs of individual and literals that are not
* in {@code pe}.
* Simplified Object Property Expression
A simplified object property expression
* is either a named property {@code P}, or an object inverse property of the form
* {@code ObjectInverseOf(P)} where {@code P} is a named property. In other words, there is no
* nesting of {@code ObjectInverseOf} operators.
* Error Handling
An {@code OWLReasoner} may throw the following exceptions to indicate
* errors. More documentation for each type of exception can be found on the particular exception
* class.
*
* - {@link org.semanticweb.owlapi.reasoner.AxiomNotInProfileException}
* - {@link org.semanticweb.owlapi.reasoner.ClassExpressionNotInProfileException}
* - {@link org.semanticweb.owlapi.reasoner.FreshEntitiesException}
* - {@link org.semanticweb.owlapi.reasoner.InconsistentOntologyException}
* - {@link org.semanticweb.owlapi.reasoner.TimeOutException}
* - {@link org.semanticweb.owlapi.reasoner.ReasonerInterruptedException}
* - {@link org.semanticweb.owlapi.reasoner.UnsupportedEntailmentTypeException}
* - {@link org.semanticweb.owlapi.reasoner.ReasonerInternalException}
*
* Note that {@link org.semanticweb.owlapi.reasoner.ReasonerInternalException} may be throw by any
* of the reasoner methods below.
