                Ontology

The representation of an ontology. Instances of Ontology hold the root OntologyNode of the ontology tree. For simplicity, we call ontology items predicates.

Method Summary
	`__init__(self, oStack, attrs, **args)`
	`addSpecialization(self, spec)`
	`findPredicate(self, name)`
	`registerPredicate(self, pred)`
	`writeXMLNestedItems(self, out, indent)`
Inherited from BIXMLWriteable
	`writeXML(self, out, indent, **kwArgs)` Outputs the complete XML representation of the given object.
	`writeXMLClose(self, out, indent)` Prints the closing tag of the object: </tag>.
	`writeXMLOpen(self, out, indent, closing)` Writes opening tag into the XML output.
	`XMLAttrs(self)` Computes the string representation of the object's attributes, which are included into the XML tag.
Inherited from object
	`__delattr__(...)` x.__delattr__('name') <==> del x.name
	`__getattribute__(...)` x.__getattribute__('name') <==> x.name
	`__hash__(x)` x.__hash__() <==> hash(x)
	`__reduce__(...)` helper for pickle
	`__reduce_ex__(...)` helper for pickle
	`__repr__(x)` x.__repr__() <==> repr(x)
	`__setattr__(...)` x.__setattr__('name', value) <==> x.name = value
	`__str__(x)` x.__str__() <==> str(x)
Inherited from type
	`__new__(T, S, ...)` T.__new__(S, ...) -> a new object with type S, a subtype of T

Class Variable Summary
`list`	`persistentAttrs`: The list of attributes to be included in the XML output.
