Hi,

close_world() and World.close() are not the same at all.

World.close() close the database connection for this World.

close_world(entity) automatically generates OWL constructs for considering the given entity in a closed-world : i.e., everything that is not known on this entity is considered as false : the entity cannot have additional relations that are not already known.

I understand that both name are very ambiguous... the problem is that the word "close" is used both in the database domain and the knowledge representation domain, with totally different meaning.
