    • consume

      public static void consume(ValueFactory vf, Resource subject, IRI predicate, Value object, Consumer<Statement> consumer, Resource... contexts)
      Creates one or more Statement objects with the given subject, predicate and object, one for each given context, and sends each created statement to the supplied Consumer. If no context is supplied, only a single statement (without any assigned context) is created.
      Parameters:
      vf - the ValueFactory to use for creating statements.
      subject - the subject of each statement. May not be null.
      predicate - the predicate of each statement. May not be null.
      object - the object of each statement. May not be null.
      consumer - the Consumer function for the produced statements.
      contexts - the context(s) for which to produce statements. This argument is an optional vararg: leave it out completely to produce a single statement without context.

      public static <C extends Collection<Statement>> C create(ValueFactory vf, Resource subject, IRI predicate, Value object, C collection, Resource... contexts)
      Creates one or more Statement objects with the given subject, predicate and object, one for each given context. If no context is supplied, only a single statement (without any assigned context) is created.
      Parameters:
      vf - the ValueFactory to use for creating statements.
      subject - the subject of each statement. May not be null.

    • convertRDFStarToReification

      @Experimental public static void convertRDFStarToReification(Statement st, Consumer<Statement> consumer)
      Converts the supplied RDF-star statement to RDF reification statements, and sends the resultant statements to the supplied consumer. If the supplied statement is not RDF-star it will be sent to the consumer as is.

      The statements needed to represent reification will use blank nodes.

      Parameters:
      st - the Statement to convert.
      consumer - the Consumer function for the produced statements.
    • convertRDFStarToReification

      @Experimental public static void convertRDFStarToReification(ValueFactory vf, Statement st, Consumer<Statement> consumer)
      Converts the supplied RDF-star statement to RDF reification statements, and sends the resultant statements to the supplied consumer. If the supplied statement is not RDF-star it will be sent to the consumer as is.

      The statements needed to represent reification will use blank nodes.

      The supplied value factory is used to create all new statements and blank nodes.

      Parameters:
      vf - the ValueFactory to use for creating statements.
      st - the Statement to convert.
      consumer - the Consumer function for the produced statements.
    • convertRDFStarToReification

      @Experimental public static void convertRDFStarToReification(ValueFactory vf, Function<Triple,Resource> reifiedIdMapper, Statement st, Consumer<Statement> consumer)
      Converts the supplied RDF-star statement to RDF reification statements, and sends the resultant statements to the supplied consumer. If the supplied statement is not RDF-star it will be sent to the consumer as is.

      The supplied value factory is used to create all new statements.

      The supplied mapper function maps a Triple to a Resource and is used to create the ID of the RDF reification statement corresponding to the converted triple. The function must return the same value for identical triples in order to produce consistent results between invocations. See TRIPLE_BNODE_MAPPER.

      Parameters:
      vf - the ValueFactory to use for creating statements.
      reifiedIdMapper - the mapper Function from Triple to Resource.
      st - the Statement to convert,
      consumer - the Consumer function for the produced statements.
