Deprecated Interfaces

Interface and Description
org.semanticweb.owlapi.model.OWLOntologyFormat this interface is here only to help with backwards compatibility
org.semanticweb.owlapi.vocab.PrefixOWLOntologyFormat use PrefixDocumentFormat instead

Deprecated Classes

Class and Description
uk.ac.manchester.cs.owl.explanation.ordering.DefaultExplanationOrderer use ExplanationOrdererImpl instead - this class depends on OWLManager, while ExplanationOrdererImpl does not.
org.semanticweb.owlapi.util.DeprecatedOWLEntityCollector the old OWLEntityCollector is still used in non trivial ways in third party software. For new code, use OWLEntityCollector.
uk.ac.manchester.cs.owlapi.dlsyntax.DLSyntaxHTMLOntologyFormat use DLSyntaxHTMLDocumentFormat
uk.ac.manchester.cs.owlapi.dlsyntax.DLSyntaxOntologyFormat use DLSyntaxDocumentFormat
de.uulm.ecs.ai.owlapi.krssparser.KRSS2OntologyFormat use KRSS2DocumentFormat
org.coode.owl.krssparser.KRSSOntologyFormat use KRSSDocumentFormat

uk.ac.manchester.cs.owl.owlapi.mansyntaxrenderer.ManchesterOWLSyntaxRenderer use org.semanticweb.owlapi.mansyntax.renderer.ManchesterOWLSyntaxRenderer
org.semanticweb.owlapi.util.NonMappingOntologyIRIMapper not useful. If no mapping is found, the code already returns the input IRI.
org.semanticweb.owlapi.util.ObjectPropertySimplifier 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.
org.coode.owlapi.obo.renderer.OBOFlatFileOntologyStorer
org.coode.owlapi.obo.parser.OBOOntologyFormat use OBODocumentFormat

Deprecated Fields

Field and Description
org.coode.owlapi.obo12.parser.OBOVocabulary.ANNOTATION_URI_BASE Use OBOVocabulary.OBO_IRI_BASE
org.semanticweb.owlapi.search.Filters.annotations use the OWLOntology:getAnnotationAssertionAxioms() in place of this filter as it is much faster, thanks to indexing.
org.obolibrary.oboformat.parser.OBOFormatConstants.headerDateFormat use headerDateFormat() - ThreadLocal do not work nicely with web applications
org.coode.owlapi.obo12.parser.OBOVocabulary.ONTOLOGY_URI_BASE Use OBOVocabulary.OBO_IRI_BASE
