Overview

An RDF basic graph pattern (BGP) query solution sequence.

Examples:

Filtering solutions using a hash

solutions.filter(:author  => RDF::URI("http://ar.to/#self"))
solutions.filter(:author  => "Arto Bendiken")
solutions.filter(:author  => [RDF::URI("http://ar.to/#self"), "Arto Bendiken"])
solutions.filter(:updated => RDF::Literal(Date.today))

Filtering solutions using a block

solutions.filter { |solution| solution.author.literal? }
solutions.filter { |solution| solution.title =~ /^SPARQL/ }
solutions.filter { |solution| solution.price < 30.5 }
solutions.filter { |solution| solution.bound?(:date) }
solutions.filter { |solution| solution.age.datatype == RDF::XSD.integer }
solutions.filter { |solution| solution.name.language == :es }

Reordering solutions based on a variable or proc

solutions.order_by(:updated)
solutions.order_by(:updated, :created)
solutions.order_by(:updated, lambda {|a, b| b <=> a})

Selecting/Projecting particular variables only

solutions.select(:title)
solutions.select(:title, :description)
solutions.project(:title)

Eliminating duplicate solutions

solutions.distinct

Limiting the number of solutions

solutions.offset(20).limit(10)

Counting the number of matching solutions

solutions.count
solutions.count { |solution| solution.price < 30.5 }

Iterating over all found solutions

solutions.each { |solution| puts solution.inspect }

- (Hash{Symbol => Array<RDF::Term>}) bindings

Returns hash of bindings from each solution. Each bound variable will have an array of bound values representing those from each solution, where a given solution will have just a single value for each bound variable

Returns:

- (Boolean) have_variables?(variables) Also known as: has_variables?

Returns true if this solution sequence contains bindings for any of the given variables.

Parameters:

  • variables (Array<Symbol, #to_sym>) —

    an array of variables to check

Returns:

  • (Boolean) —

    true or false

- limit(length) Also known as: limit!

This method returns an undefined value.

Limits the number of solutions in this solution sequence to a maximum of length.

Parameters:

  • length (Integer, #to_i) —

    zero or a positive integer

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError) —

    if length is negative

Since:

  • 0.3.0

  case length
    when 0 then self.clear
    else self.slice!(length..-1) if length < self.size
  end
  self
end

- offset(start) Also known as: offset!

This method returns an undefined value.

Limits this solution sequence to bindings starting from the start offset in the overall solution sequence.

Parameters:

  • start (Integer, #to_i) —

    when 0 then nil
    else self.slice!(0...start)
  end
  self
end

- order(*variables) {|solution| ... } Also known as: order_by

This method returns an undefined value.

Reorders this solution sequence by the given variables.

Variables may be symbols or Variable instances. A variable may also be a Procedure/Lambda, compatible with Enumerable#sort. This takes two arguments (solutions) and returns -1, 0, or 1 equivalently to <=>.

If called with a block, variables are ignored, and the block is invoked with pairs of solutions. The block is expected to return -1, 0, or 1 equivalently to <=>.

Parameters:

Yields:

  • (solution)

Yield Parameters:

Yield Returns:

  • (Integer) —

    -1, 0, or 1 depending on value of comparator

Since:

  • 0.3.0
