RDF::Query::ServiceDescription - Class for describing federated query data
sources.
This document describes RDF::Query::ServiceDescription version 2.918.
- "new ( $service_uri, %data )"
- "new_from_uri ( $url )"
- Creates a new service description object using the DARQ-style service
description data located at $url.
- "new_with_model ( $model )"
- Creates a new service description object using the DARQ-style service
description data loaded in the supplied $model
object.
- "url"
- Returns the endpoint URL of the service.
- "size"
- Returns the number of triples the service claims to have.
- "label"
- Returns the label of the service.
- "definitive"
- Returns true if the endpoint claims to have definitive information.
- "capabilities"
- Returns an ARRAY reference of capabilities (as HASH references) of the
service. Each capability will contain information on size, selectivity,
any subject-object filter, and required predicate, with the following
classes:
$capability->{object_selectivity} # RDF::Trine::Node::Literal xsd:double
$capability->{sofilter} # RDF::Query::Expression
$capability->{size} # RDF::Trine::Node::Literal xsd:integer
$capability->{pred} # RDF::Trine::Node::Resource
- "patterns"
- Returns an ARRAY reference of RDF::Query::Algebra::BasicGraphPattern
objects representing common patterns used by the endpoint.
- "computed_statement_generator"
- Returns a closure appropriate for passing to
"RDF::Query->add_computed_statement_generator"
to generate statement iterators for the remote service.
This closure takes "($query, $bridge,
\%bound, $subj, $pred, $obj [, $context ] )" as arguments
and returns either "undef" if no
statements can be generated given the arguments, or a
"RDF::Trine::Iterator::Graph" iterator
containing statements matching "$subj, $pred, $obj
[, $context ]".
- "answers_triple_pattern ( $triple )"
- Returns true if the service described by this object can answer queries
comprised of the supplied triple pattern.
