Method Detail

hash

public int hash(Node<? extends ElkEntity> node)

Compute the hash for an entity node. This method implements a simple cache for nodes with unusually large numbers of members. This mainly covers the case where a huge number of classes is equal to owl:Nothing due to modelling errors.

Specified by:

hash in interface Hasher<Node<? extends ElkEntity>>

Parameters:

node -

Returns:

the has for the given entity node
