Class SchemaCachingRDFSInferencer

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    FederatedServiceResolverClient, NotifyingSail, Sail, StackableSail

    public class SchemaCachingRDFSInferencer
    extends NotifyingSailWrapper

    The SchemaCachingRDFSInferencer is an RDFS reasoner that caches all schema (TBox) statements and calculates an inference map to quickly determine inferred statements. The reasoner can also be instantiated with a predefined schema for improved performance.

    This reasoner is not a rule based reasoner and will be up to 80x faster than the ForwardChainingRDFSInferencer, as well as being more complete.

    The sail puts no limitations on isolation level for read transactions, however all write/delete/update transactions are serializable with exclusive locks. This limits write/delete/update transactions to one transaction at a time.

      • init

        public void init()
                  throws SailException
        Description copied from interface: Sail
        Initializes the Sail. Care should be taken that required initialization parameters have been set before this method is called. Please consult the specific Sail implementation for information about the relevant parameters.
        Specified by:
        init in interface Sail
        Overrides:
        init in class SailWrapper
        Throws:
        SailException - If the Sail could not be initialized.
      • getValueFactory

        public ValueFactory getValueFactory()
        Description copied from interface: Sail
        Gets a ValueFactory object that can be used to create IRI-, blank node-, literal- and statement objects.
        Specified by:
        getValueFactory in interface Sail
        Overrides:
        getValueFactory in class SailWrapper
        Returns:
        a ValueFactory object for this Sail object.
      • fastInstantiateFrom

        public static SchemaCachingRDFSInferencer fastInstantiateFrom​(SchemaCachingRDFSInferencer sailToInstantiateFrom,
                                                                      NotifyingSail store)
        Instantiate a new SchemaCachingRDFSInferencer from an existing one. Fast instantiation extracts the schema lookup tables generated by the existing sail and uses them to populate the lookup tables of a new reasoner. Schema triples can not be queried in the SchemaCachingRDFSInferencer returned by this method.
        Parameters:
        sailToInstantiateFrom - The SchemaCachingRDFSInferencer to extract the lookup tables from.
        store - Base sail for storing data.
        Returns:
        inferencer

      • isAddInferredStatementsToDefaultContext

        public boolean isAddInferredStatementsToDefaultContext()

      • setAddInferredStatementsToDefaultContext

        public void setAddInferredStatementsToDefaultContext​(boolean addInferredStatementsToDefaultContext)

        Inferred statements can either be added to the default context or to the context that the original inserted statement has. setAddInferredStatementsToDefaultContext(true) will add all inferred statements to the default context.
