General information
| Name | CyclicSubClassOf |
|---|---|
| Problem | Sometimes there are several syntactical forms (e.g. syntactical sugar) with the same logical meaning. Refactoring patterns can transform one form to another, they are independant of a specific domain.
A explicitly defined cyclic SubClassOf chain is more difficult to discover and understand by a human than an EquivalentClassAxiom. Because it is explicitly defined there is not any dange in replacing it with an (explicitly defined) EquivalentClassAxioms. |

Ontology
| Description | The ontology before applying the pattern contains an explicitly defined cyclic SubClassOf chain with an arbitrary number of classes Ci (i > 0):
SubClassOf(A C1) SubClassOf(C1 C2) SubClassOf(C2 C3) ... SubClassOf(Cn A) |
