Module: RDF::Queryable

Includes:
Enumerable
Included in:
Dataset, Enumerable::Enumerator, Graph, Enumerator, Transaction
Defined in:
lib/rdf/mixin/queryable.rb,
lib/rdf/mixin/enumerator.rb

Overview

An RDF query mixin.

Classes that include this module should implement a #query_pattern method that yields RDF statements. Classes may also implement an optimized #query_execute method that yields RDF statements.

#first_literal ⇒ RDF::Literal #first_literal(pattern) ⇒ RDF::Literal

Queries self for RDF statements matching the given pattern and returns the first found object literal.

#first_value ⇒ Object #first_value(pattern) ⇒ Object

Queries self for RDF statements matching the given pattern and returns the value of the first found object literal.

Returns nil if no statements match pattern or if none of the found statements have a literal as their object term.

#query(pattern, **options) {|statement| ... } ⇒ Enumerator<RDF::Statement>, ...

Note:

Since 2.0, this may return an Enumerable or an Enumerator in addition to Solutions

Queries self for RDF statements matching the given pattern.

This method delegates to the protected #query_pattern method for the actual lower-level query pattern matching implementation.

Examples:

Querying for statements having a given predicate

queryable.query([nil, RDF::Vocab::DOAP.developer, nil])
queryable.query({predicate: RDF::Vocab::DOAP.developer}) do |statement|
  puts statement.inspect
end

Querying for solutions from a BGP

query = RDF::Query.new {pattern [:s, :p, :o]}
queryable.query(query) do |solution|
  puts solution.inspect
end

Yields:

  • (statement) —

    each matching statement

Yield Parameters:

Yield Returns:

  • (void) —

    ignored

Raises:

  • (TypeError)
