add(description, input, opts \\ [])

View Source

Specs

add(t(), input(), keyword()) :: t()

Add statements to a RDF.Description.

Note: When the statements to be added are given as another RDF.Description, the subject must not match subject of the description to which the statements are added. As opposed to that RDF.Data.merge/2 will produce a RDF.Graph containing both descriptions.

Examples

iex> RDF.Description.new(EX.S, init: {EX.P1, EX.O1})
...> |> RDF.Description.add({EX.P2, EX.O2})
RDF.Description.new(EX.S, init: [{EX.P1, EX.O1}, {EX.P2, EX.O2}])

iex> RDF.Description.new(EX.S, init: {EX.P, EX.O1})
...> |> RDF.Description.add({EX.P, [EX.O2, EX.O3]})

delete(description, input, opts \\ [])

View Source

Specs

get_and_update(description, predicate, fun)

View Source

Specs

get_and_update(
  t(),
  RDF.Star.Statement.coercible_predicate(),
  ([RDF.Star.Statement.Object] -> {[RDF.Star.Statement.Object], t()} | :pop)
) :: {[RDF.Star.Statement.Object], t()}

Gets and updates the objects of the given predicate of a Description, in a single pass.

Invokes the passed function on the objects of the given predicate; this function should return either {objects_to_return, new_object} or :pop.

If the passed function returns {objects_to_return, new_objects}, the return value of get_and_update is {objects_to_return, new_description} where new_description is the input Description updated with new_objects for the given predicate.

If the passed function returns :pop the objects for the given predicate are removed and a {removed_objects, new_description} tuple gets returned.

Examples

iex> RDF.Description.new(EX.S, init: {EX.P, EX.O})
...> |> RDF.Description.get_and_update(EX.P, fn current_objects ->
...>      {current_objects, EX.New}

include?(description, input, opts \\ [])

View Source

Specs

include?(t(), input(), keyword()) :: boolean()

Checks if the given input statements exist within description.

Specs

Returns a map of a RDF.Description where each element from its triples is mapped with the given function.

The subject is not part of the result. If you want the subject in an outer map, just put the the description in a graph and use RDF.Graph.map/2.

The function fun will receive a tuple {statement_position, rdf_term} where statement_position is one of the atoms :predicate or :object, while rdf_term is the RDF term to be mapped. When the given function returns nil this will be interpreted as an error and will become the overhaul result of the map/2 call.

Note: RDF-star statements where the object is a triple will be ignored.

Examples

iex> RDF.Description.new(~I<http://example.com/S>, init: {~I<http://example.com/p>, ~L"Foo"})
...> |> RDF.Description.map(fn
...>      {:predicate, predicate} ->

new(subject, opts \\ [])

View Source

Specs

Creates an RDF.Description about the given subject.

The created RDF.Description can be initialized with any form of data which add/2 understands with the :init option. Additionally a function returning the initialization data in any of these forms can be as the :init value.

Examples

RDF.Description.new(EX.S)
RDF.Description.new(EX.S, init: {EX.S, EX.p, EX.O})
RDF.Description.new(EX.S, init: {EX.p, [EX.O1, EX.O2]})
RDF.Description.new(EX.S, init: [{EX.p1, EX.O1}, {EX.p2, EX.O2}])
RDF.Description.new(EX.S, init: RDF.Description.new(EX.S, init: {EX.P, EX.O}))
RDF.Description.new(EX.S, init: fn -> {EX.p, EX.O} end)

Specs

objects(t()) :: MapSet.t()

The set of all resources used in the objects within a RDF.Description.

Note: This function does collect only IRIs and BlankNodes, not Literals.

Examples

iex> RDF.Description.new(EX.S1, init: [
...>   {EX.p1, EX.O1},
...>   {EX.p2, EX.O2},
...>   {EX.p3, EX.O2},

objects(description, filter_fn)

Specs

objects(t(), (RDF.Star.Statement.object() -> boolean())) :: MapSet.t()

The set of all resources used in the objects within a RDF.Description satisfying the given filter criterion.

Specs

pop(t()) :: {RDF.Star.Triple.t() | [RDF.Star.Statement.Object] | nil, t()}

Pops an arbitrary triple from a RDF.Description.

Link to this function

pop(description, predicate)

View Source

Pops the objects of the given predicate of a Description.

When the predicate can not be found the optionally given default value or nil is returned.

Examples

iex> RDF.Description.new(EX.S, init: {EX.P, EX.O})
...> |> RDF.Description.pop(EX.P)
{[RDF.iri(EX.O)], RDF.Description.new(EX.S)}
iex> RDF.Description.new(EX.S, init: {EX.P, EX.O})

{nil, RDF.Description.new(EX.S, init: {EX.P, EX.O})}

Specs

predicates(t()) :: MapSet.t()

The set of all properties used in the predicates within a RDF.Description.

Examples

iex> RDF.Description.new(EX.S1, init: [
...>   {EX.p1, EX.O1},
...>   {EX.p2, EX.O2},
...>   {EX.p2, EX.O3}])

Link to this function

put(description, input, opts \\ [])

View Source

Specs

put(t(), input(), keyword()) :: t()

Adds statements to a RDF.Description and overwrites all existing statements with already used predicates.

Note: As it is a destructive function this function is more strict in its handling of RDF.Descriptions than add/3. The subject of a RDF.Description to be put must match. If you want to overwrite existing statements with those from the description of another subject, you'll have to explicitly change the subject with change_subject/2 first before using put/3.

Examples

iex> RDF.Description.new(EX.S, init: {EX.P, EX.O1})
...> |> RDF.Description.put({EX.P, EX.O2})
RDF.Description.new(EX.S, init: {EX.P, EX.O2})

Specs

resources(t()) :: MapSet.t()

The set of all resources used within a RDF.Description.

Examples

iex> RDF.Description.new(EX.S1, init: [
...>   {EX.p1, EX.O1},
...>   {EX.p2, EX.O2},
...>   {EX.p1, EX.O2},
...>   {EX.p2, RDF.bnode(:bnode)},
...>   {EX.p3, "foo"}])

subject(t()) :: RDF.Star.Statement.subject()

take(description, predicates)

View Source

Specs

take(t(), [RDF.Star.Statement.coercible_predicate()] | Enum.t() | nil) :: t()

Creates a description from another one by limiting its statements to those using one of the given predicates.

If predicates contains properties that are not used in the description, they're simply ignored.

If nil is passed, the description is left untouched.

Link to this function

triples(description, opts \\ [])

View Source

Specs

triples(
  t(),
  keyword()
) :: [RDF.Star.Triple.t()]

The list of all triples within a RDF.Description.

When the optional :filter_star flag is set to true RDF-star triples with a triple as subject or object will be filtered. So, for a description with a triple as a subject you'll always get an empty list. The default value of the :filter_star flag is false.

Link to this function

update(description, predicate, initial \\ nil, fun)

View Source

Specs

update(
  t(),
  RDF.Star.Statement.coercible_predicate(),
  RDF.Star.Statement.coercible_object() | nil,
  ([RDF.Star.Statement.Object] -> [RDF.Star.Statement.Object])
) :: t()

Updates the objects of the predicate in description with the given function.

If predicate is present in description with objects as value, fun is invoked with argument objects and its result is used as the new list of objects of predicate. If predicate is not present in description, initial is inserted as the objects of predicate. The initial value will not be passed through the update function.

The initial value and the returned objects by the update function will automatically coerced to proper RDF object values before added.

Examples

iex> RDF.Description.new(EX.S, init: {EX.p, EX.O})
...> |> RDF.Description.update(EX.p, fn objects -> [EX.O2 | objects] end)
RDF.Description.new(EX.S, init: [{EX.p, EX.O}, {EX.p, EX.O2}])
iex> RDF.Description.new(EX.S)
...> |> RDF.Description.update(EX.p, EX.O, fn _ -> EX.O2 end)
RDF.Description.new(EX.S, init: {EX.p, EX.O})
Link to this function

values(description, opts \\ [])

View Source

Specs

values(
  t(),
  keyword()
) :: map()

Returns a map of the native Elixir values of a RDF.Description.

The subject is not part of the result. It can be converted separately with RDF.Term.value/1, or, if you want the subject in an outer map, just put the the description in a graph and use RDF.Graph.values/2.

When a :context option is given with a RDF.PropertyMap, predicates will be mapped to the terms defined in the RDF.PropertyMap, if present.

Note: RDF-star statements where the object is a triple will be ignored.

Examples

iex> RDF.Description.new(~I<http://example.com/S>, init: {~I<http://example.com/p>, ~L"Foo"})
...> |> RDF.Description.values()
%{"http://example.com/p" => ["Foo"]}

iex> RDF.Description.new(~I<http://example.com/S>, init: {~I<http://example.com/p>, ~L"Foo"})
...> |> RDF.Description.values(context: %{p: ~I<http://example.com/p>})
