add(description, statements)

View Source

Adds 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.

Link to this function

add(description, predicate, objects)

View Source

Add objects to a predicate of a RDF.Description.

Examples

iex> RDF.Description.add(RDF.Description.new({EX.S, EX.P1, EX.O1}), EX.P2, EX.O2)
RDF.Description.new([{EX.S, EX.P1, EX.O1}, {EX.S, EX.P2, EX.O2}])
iex> RDF.Description.add(RDF.Description.new({EX.S, EX.P, EX.O1}), EX.P, [EX.O2, EX.O3])
RDF.Description.new([{EX.S, EX.P, EX.O1}, {EX.S, EX.P, EX.O2}, {EX.S, EX.P, EX.O3}])

Returns the number of statements of a RDF.Description.

Link to this function

delete(description, statements)

View Source

Deletes statements from a RDF.Description.

Note: When the statements to be deleted are given as another RDF.Description, the subject must not match subject of the description from which the statements are deleted. If you want to delete only a matching description subject, you can use RDF.Data.delete/2.

get_and_update(description, predicate, fun)

View Source

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, EX.P, EX.O}) |>
...>   RDF.Description.get_and_update(EX.P, fn current_objects ->
...>     {current_objects, EX.NEW}

take(description, predicates)

View Source

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.

The list of all triples within a RDF.Description.

Link to this function

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

View Source

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, EX.p, EX.O}) |>
...> RDF.Description.update(EX.p, fn objects -> [EX.O2 | objects] end)
RDF.Description.new([{EX.S, EX.p, EX.O}, {EX.S, 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, EX.p, EX.O})

values(description, mapping \\ &RDF.Statement.default_term_mapping/1)

View Source

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.

The optional second argument allows to specify a custom mapping with a function which 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.

Examples

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

iex> {~I<http://example.com/S>, ~I<http://example.com/p>, ~L"Foo"}
...> |> RDF.Description.new()
...> |> RDF.Description.values(fn
...>      {:predicate, predicate} ->
...>        predicate
...>        |> to_string()
...>        |> String.split("/")
...>        |> List.last()
...>        |> String.to_atom()
...>    {_, term} ->
...>      RDF.Term.value(term)
