Attean::API::Binding - Name to term bindings
This document describes Attean::API::Binding version 0.033
The Attean::API::Binding role defines a common API for all objects that map names to Attean::API::Term objects. This includes triples, quads, and SPARQL results (variable bindings).
Classes consuming this role must provide the following methods:
value( $name )
Returns the Attean::API::Term object mapped to the variable named $name, or undef if no such term is mapped.
$name
undef
variables
Returns a list of the variable names mapped to Attean::API::Term objects in this mapping.
apply_map( $mapper )
Returns a new mapping object (of the same class as the referent) with term objects rewritten using the supplied Attean::Mapper object $mapper.
$mapper
This role provides default implementations of the following methods:
mapping
Returns a HASH mapping variable names to Attean::API::Term objects.
values
Returns a list of Attean::API::Term objects corresponding to the variable names returned by the referent's variables method.
tuples_string
Returns a string serialization of the Attean::API::Term objects in the order they are returned by the referent's values method.
as_string
Returns a string serialization of the variable bindings.
has_blanks
Returns true if any variable is bound to an Attean::API::Blank term, false otherwise.
sameTerms( $other )
equals( $other )
blanks
Returns all the values in this mapping (recursively, if any values are embedded bindings) that are blank nodes.
referenced_variables
Returns a list of the names of any variable values that are referenced in this binding (recursively, if any values are embedded bindings).
is_ground
Returns tue is all the bound values consume Attean::API::Term, false otherwise.
values_consuming_role( $role )
Returns the list of bound values that consume $role.
$role
tree_attributes
Returns the variables which are bound in this object.
apply_bindings( $binding )
Construct a new binding by replacing variables with their bound values from $binding.
$binding
parse ( $string )
Returns a triple or quad pattern object using the variables and/or terms parsed from $string in SPARQL syntax.
$string
project( @keys )
Returns a new Attean::Result binding which contains variable-value mappings from the invocant for every variable name in @keys.
@keys
