    • equals

      public boolean equals(Object o)

 31 * getObject().hashCode() +
 31 * 31 * getPredicate().hashCode();
      If you do not implement hashcode in this way then you have no guarantee that your Triple objects will be found in an ontology and that they will not be duplicated.

      hashCode in class Object
