Method Summary

boolean	contains(ResourceOrVariable subject, UriOrVariable predicate, NodeOrVariable object)
boolean	contains(ResourceOrVariable subject, UriOrVariable predicate, java.lang.String plainLiteral) Convenience function.
boolean	contains(Statement s)
long	countStatements(TriplePattern pattern)
TriplePattern	createTriplePattern(ResourceOrVariable subject, UriOrVariable predicate, NodeOrVariable object)
ClosableIterator<Statement>	findStatements(ResourceOrVariable subject, UriOrVariable predicate, NodeOrVariable object) get all statements in the model with this subject, predicate and object.
ClosableIterator<Statement>	findStatements(TriplePattern pattern) Iterator must be auto-close, i.e. when last element is fetched, the implementation must call close().

Method Detail

findStatements

ClosableIterator<Statement> findStatements(ResourceOrVariable subject,
                                           UriOrVariable predicate,
                                           NodeOrVariable object)
                                           throws ModelRuntimeException

get all statements in the model with this subject, predicate and object. Each of those (s,p,o) can be Variable.ANY Iterator must be auto-close, i.e. when last element is fetched, the implementation must call close().

Parameters:

subject - URI or Object (= blankNode) or Variable

predicate - URI or Variable

object - URI or String (=plainLiteral) or BlankNode (=blankNode) or TypedLiteral or LanguageTagLiteral or Variable

Returns:

a statement iterator

Throws:

ModelRuntimeException

findStatements

ClosableIterator<Statement> findStatements(TriplePattern pattern)
                                           throws ModelRuntimeException

Iterator must be auto-close, i.e. when last element is fetched, the implementation must call close().

Parameters:

pattern -

Returns:

statement iterator returning all triples matching the given pattern

Throws:

ModelRuntimeException

                     throws ModelRuntimeException

Returns:

the number of statements in the model matching the query

Throws:

ModelRuntimeException

contains

                 throws ModelRuntimeException

Parameters:

subject -

predicate -

object -

Returns:

true if the statement (subject, predicate, object) is in the model

Throws:

ModelRuntimeException

contains

boolean contains(ResourceOrVariable subject,

Parameters:

s - a Statement

Returns:

true if the model contains a statement s

Throws:

createTriplePattern

TriplePattern createTriplePattern(ResourceOrVariable subject,
                                  UriOrVariable predicate,
                                  NodeOrVariable object)

Parameters:
