Overview

An RDF statement.

Examples:

Creating an RDF statement

s = RDF::URI.new("https://rubygems.org/gems/rdf")
p = RDF::Vocab::DC.creator
o = RDF::URI.new("http://ar.to/#self")
RDF::Statement(s, p, o)

Creating an RDF statement with a graph_name

uri = RDF::URI("http://example/")
RDF::Statement(s, p, o, graph_name: uri)

Creating an RDF statement from a Hash

RDF::Statement({
  subject:   RDF::URI.new("https://rubygems.org/gems/rdf"),
  predicate: RDF::Vocab::DC.creator,
  object:    RDF::URI.new("http://ar.to/#self"),
})

Creating an RDF statement with interned nodes

RDF::Statement(:s, p, :o)

Creating an RDF statement with a string

RDF::Statement(s, p, "o")

Constructor Details

#initialize(**options) ⇒ RDF::Statement #initialize(subject, predicate, object, **options) ⇒ RDF::Statement

Returns a new instance of Statement.

Overloads:

  • #initialize(**options) ⇒ RDF::Statement

    Parameters:

    • options (Hash{Symbol => Object})

    Options Hash (**options):

    • :subject (RDF::Term) — default: nil —

      A symbol is converted to an interned Node.

    • :predicate (RDF::URI) — default: nil
    • :object (RDF::Resource) — default: nil —

      if not a Resource, it is coerced to Literal or Node depending on if it is a symbol or something other than a Term.

    • :graph_name (RDF::Term) — default: nil —

      Note, in RDF 1.1, a graph name MUST be an Resource.

    • :inferred (Boolean) —

      used as a marker to record that this statement was inferred based on semantic relationships (T-Box).

    • :tripleTerm (Boolean) —

      used as a marker to record that this statement appears as the object of another RDF::Statement.

    • :quoted (Boolean) —

      used as a marker to record that this statement quoted and appears as the subject or object of another RDF::Statement (deprecated).

  • #initialize(subject, predicate, object, **options) ⇒ RDF::Statement

    Parameters:

    Options Hash (**options):

    • :graph_name (RDF::Term) — default: nil —

      Note, in RDF 1.1, a graph name MUST be an Resource.

    • :inferred (Boolean) —

      used as a marker to record that this statement was inferred based on semantic relationships (T-Box).

    • :tripleTerm (Boolean) —

      used as a marker to record that this statement appears as the object of another RDF::Statement.

    • :quoted (Boolean) —

      used as a marker to record that this statement quoted and appears as the subject or object of another RDF::Statement (deprecated).

def ==(other)
  to_a == Array(other) &&
    !(other.is_a?(RDF::Value) && other.list?)
end

#===(other) ⇒ Boolean

Checks statement equality with patterns.

Uses #eql? to compare each of #subject, #predicate, #object, and #graph_name to those of other. Any statement part which is not present in self is ignored.

Examples:

statement = RDF::Statement.new(RDF::URI('s'), RDF::URI('p'), RDF::URI('o'))
pattern   = RDF::Statement.new(RDF::URI('s'), RDF::URI('p'), RDF::Query::Variable.new)

# true
statement === statement
pattern   === statement
RDF::Statement.new(nil, nil, nil) === statement

# false
statement === pattern
statement === RDF::Statement.new(nil, nil, nil)

Parameters:
