New feature request: add boolean check for the existence specified OWL entity of given type about brain HOT 5 OPEN

There is a series of undocumented (:-/) methods that might be helpful to you. They take as input the shortform and return a boolean telling whether or not the entity exists. Example:
brain.knowsClass("Cell");
brain.knowsObjectProperty("part-of");

Does it solves your problem? If yes, this should be added to the main doc.

It does indeed. I've been using direct OWL API calls, but this is much more convenient. Thanks!

from brain.

Cool! I add it to the doc then. Thanks for reporting and sorry for delays in replying!

Also seems there is no equivalent method for checking individuals (at least I don't see one in the javadoc). Would be great if you could add that too.

OK - I will implement.
