addNode

Create a NEW entity on the canvas. Writes rdf:type(s) + rdfs:label atomically so the canvas pipeline fires once, then auto-navigates to the new node. The node appears in the view matching its rdf:type (owl:Class → TBox; owl:ObjectProperty → TBox; owl:AnnotationProperty → TBox; owl:NamedIndividual or unknown → ABox). To assign multiple types at once (e.g. owl:NamedIndividual + ex:SalamiTopping) use typeIris:["owl:NamedIndividual","ex:SalamiTopping"] — do NOT call addNode + addTriple separately for this. Object and annotation properties are first-class OWL entities — create them as nodes with typeIri=owl:ObjectProperty, then assert rdfs:domain and rdfs:range on them via addTriple. Use setViewMode before calling addNode. For 5+ individuals use loadRdf(turtle=...) instead. Use addTriple (not addNode) to add properties or relationships to an entity that already exists.
