如何在 OWLAPI 中使用不同的词汇生成三元组

Question

I tried to create different individual axiom using OWLAPI 5 in Java. What I want is simple triple using vocab owl:differentFrom like:

test:A owl:differentFrom test:B

But what I get is triple using owl:AllDifferent:

_:genid234 rdf:type owl:AllDifferent
_:genid234 owl:distinctMembers _:genid236
_:genid236 rdf:rest _:genid235
_:genid236 rdf:rest rdf:nil
_:genid235 rdf:first test:A
_:genid235 rdf:type rdf:List
_:genid236 rdf:first test:B
_:genid236 rdf:type rdf:List

And the simple code is:

OWLNamedIndividual op1 = factory.getOWLNamedIndividual(baseIRI + A);
OWLNamedIndividual op2 = factory.getOWLNamedIndividual(baseIRI + B);
ont.add(factory.getOWLDifferentIndividualsAxiom(op1, op2));

And I already tried it with Protege 5.5.0, it produce exactly the same triple as OWLAPI.

There is an alternative implementation of OWLAPI-v5 that provides a direct way to work with underlying RDF data - ONT-API (by the way, RDF based Protege version also exists). If working via OWLAPI interface for two operands it produces a single triple.

Also it is possible to copy ontology between ont-api manager and owl-api-impl managers, if you prefer to store the data in the form of OWL axioms and need to solve only this particular problem with serialization.

example:

        String iri = "http://test#";
        OWLDataFactory factory = OntManagers.getDataFactory();
        Ontology ont = OntManagers.createManager().createOntology();
        ont.asGraphModel().setNsPrefix("test", iri);

        OWLNamedIndividual ia = factory.getOWLNamedIndividual(iri + "A");
        OWLNamedIndividual ib = factory.getOWLNamedIndividual(iri + "B");
        OWLNamedIndividual ic = factory.getOWLNamedIndividual(iri + "C");

        ont.add(factory.getOWLDifferentIndividualsAxiom(ia, ib, ic));

        ont.add(factory.getOWLDifferentIndividualsAxiom(ia, ic));

        OntModel g = ont.asGraphModel();

        g.createIndividual(iri + "D").addDifferentIndividual(g.createIndividual(iri + "C"));
        g.createDifferentIndividuals(g.createIndividual(iri + "e"), g.createIndividual(iri + "g"));

        g.write(System.out, "ttl");
        System.out.println("=".repeat(42));
        ont.axioms().forEach(System.out::println);
