NAME

Attean::API::Model - RDF Model

VERSION

This document describes Attean::API::Model version 0.019

DESCRIPTION

The Attean::API::Model role defines a common API for all RDF models to conform to. It is provides a consistent interface for probing, counting, and retrieving Attean::API::Quads matching a pattern, as well as related functionality such as enumerating the graph names, and extracting structured data from the models' quads.

REQUIRED METHODS

The following methods are required by the Attean::API::Model role:

get_quads( $subject, $predicate, $object, $graph )

Returns an Attean::API::Iterator for quads in the model that match the supplied $subject, $predicate, $object, and $graph.

Any of these terms may be:

* An Attean::API::Term object, in which case matching is equality-based

* A Attean::API::Variable object or undef, in which case that term will be considered as a wildcard for the purposes of matching

* An ARRAY reference of Attean::API::Term objects, in which case the matching will be equality-based on the disjunction of the supplied terms

The returned iterator conforms to both Attean::API::Iterator and Attean::API::QuadIterator.

count_quads( $subject, $predicate, $object, $graph )

Returns the number of quads in the model matching the supplied pattern (using the same matching semantics as get_quads).

get_graphs

Returns an Attean::API::Iterator of distinct Attean::API::Term objects that are used in the graph position of quads in the model.

METHODS

The Attean::API::Model role provides default implementations of the following methods:

get_bindings( $subject, $predicate, $object, $graph )

Returns an Attean::API::Iterator of Attean::API::Result objects corresponding to quads in the model matching the supplied pattern. For each Attean::API::Variable in the pattern list, a mapping will be present in the corresponding result object. For example, $model->get_bindings( variable('s') ) will return an iterator of results containing just a mapping from 's' to subjects of all quads in the model.

get_list( $graph, $head )

Returns an Attean::API::Iterator of Attean::API::Term objects that are members of the rdf:List with the specified $head (and matching restricted to only the specified $graph).

get_sequence( $graph, $head )

Returns an Attean::API::Iterator of Attean::API::Term objects that are members of the rdf:Sequence with the specified $head (and matching restricted to only the specified $graph).

subjects( $predicate, $object, $graph )

Returns an Attean::API::Iterator of Attean::API::Term objects of all subjects of quads matching the supplied pattern (using the same matching semantics as get_quads).

predicates( $subject, $object, $graph )

Returns an Attean::API::Iterator of Attean::API::Term objects of all predicates of quads matching the supplied pattern (using the same matching semantics as get_quads with an undef predicate).

objects( $subject, $predicate, $graph )

Returns an Attean::API::Iterator of Attean::API::Term objects of all objects of quads matching the supplied pattern (using the same matching semantics as get_quads with an undef object).

graphs( $subject, $predicate, $object )

Returns an Attean::API::Iterator of Attean::API::Term objects of all graphs of quads matching the supplied pattern (using the same matching semantics as get_quads with an undef graph).

graph_nodes( $graph )

Returns an Attean::API::Iterator of Attean::API::Term objects of unique subjects and objects present in the specified $graph.
