/**
* <p>
* Interface encapsulating the class of properties that are inverse functional:
* that is, properties in which a given given range value has a unique value in
* the domain (effectively, a key). In OWL DL and OWL Lite, an inverse functional
* property cannot be a datatype property, whereas OWL Full does permit this
* (see the relevant section of
* <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-owl-ref-20040210/#InverseFunctionalProperty-def">the
* OWL reference</a> for details). We conservatively model this in Jena by
* having this interface extend {@link ObjectProperty}. Users who wish to represent
* inverse functional datatype properties in OWL Full may have to switch
* off strict checking in <code>OntModel</code> (see {@link OntModel#setStrictMode(boolean)}.
