Includes:
Query
Defined in:
lib/sparql/algebra/operator/ask.rb

Overview

The SPARQL GraphPattern ask operator.

Applications can use the ASK form to test whether or not a query pattern has a solution. No information is returned about the possible query solutions, just whether or not a solution exists.

[12] AskQuery ::= 'ASK' DatasetClause* WhereClause ValuesClause

Examples:

SPARQL Query

PREFIX :    <http://example/>
ASK  { :x :p  ?x }

SSE

(prefix ((: <http://example/>))
  (ask
    (bgp (triple :x :p ?x))))

Instance Method Details

#execute(queryable, **options) {|RDF::Literal::Boolean| ... } ⇒ RDF::Literal::Boolean

Executes this query on the given queryable graph or repository. Returns true if any solutions are found, false otherwise.

Parameters:

  • queryable (RDF::Queryable) —

    the graph or repository to query

  • options (Hash{Symbol => Object}) —

    any additional keyword options

Yields:

  • (RDF::Literal::Boolean)

Yield Parameters:

Yield Returns:

  • (void) —

    ignored

Returns:

  • (RDF::Literal::Boolean) —
