public interface OntProperty
extends OntResource, Property
```
Interface encapsulating a property in an ontology. This is an extension to the standard Property interface, adding a collection of convenience methods for accessing the additional semantic features of properties in OWL and RDFS such as domain, range, inverse, etc. Not all such capabilities exist in all supported ontology languages.

  - getInverse
```
OntProperty getInverse()
```
    Answer the property that has declared itself to be the inverse of this property, if any such property is defined. If no such property is defined, return null. If more than one inverse is defined, return an arbitrary selection.
    
    Note that this method is slightly different from getInverseOf(). Suppose that we have:
```
 :p an owl:ObjectProperty.
 :q an owl:ObjectProperty.
 :p owl:inverseOf :q.
 
```
    Then, getInverse() called on the OntProperty corresponding to q will return p, since q declares itself to be p's inverse. However, unless an OWL reasoner is used, calling getInverse() on p will return null. Conversely, absent a reasoner, getInverseOf() on p will return q, but will return null when called on q. In the presence of an OWL reasoner, getInverse() and getInverseOf() are equivalent, since owl:inverseOf is a symmetric property.
    Returns:
    
    The property that is the inverse of this property, or null.

    Answer true if there is at least one inverse property for this property.
    
    Returns:
    
    True if property has an inverse.
  - listDeclaringClasses
```
ExtendedIterator<? extends OntClass> listDeclaringClasses()
```
    Answer an iterator of all of the classes in this ontology, such that each returned class has this property as one of its properties in OntClass.listDeclaredProperties(). This simulates a frame-like view of properties and classes; for more details see the RDF frames how-to.
    
    Returns:
    
    An iterator of the classes having this property as one of their declared properties
  - listDeclaringClasses
```
ExtendedIterator<? extends OntClass> listDeclaringClasses(boolean direct)
```
    Answer an iterator of all of the classes in this ontology, such that each returned class has this property as one of its properties in OntClass.listDeclaredProperties(boolean). This simulates a frame-like view of properties and classes; for more details see the RDF frames how-to.
    
    Parameters:
    
    direct - If true, use only direct associations between classes and properties
    
    Returns:
    
    An iterator of the classes having this property as one of their declared properties
  - listReferringRestrictions
```
ExtendedIterator<Restriction> listReferringRestrictions()
```
    Answer an iterator over any restrictions that mention this property as the property that the restriction is adding some constraint to. For example:
    <owl:Restriction> <owl:onProperty rdf:resource="#childOf" /> <owl:hasValue rdf:resource="#ian" /> </owl:Restriction>
    Note that any such restrictions do not affect the global semantics of this property itself. Restrictions define new class expressions, and the property constraints are local to that class expression. This method is provided as a convenience to assist callers to navigate the relationships in the model.
    Returns:
    
    An iterator whose values are the restrictions from the local model that reference this property.
