consumeRDFCollection

public static void consumeRDFCollection(RepositoryConnection conn,
 Resource head,
 Consumer<Statement> collectionConsumer,
 Resource... contexts)
                                 throws RepositoryException

Retrieve all Statements that together form the RDF Collection starting with the supplied start resource and send them to the supplied Consumer.

Parameters:

conn - the RepositoryConnection to use for statement retrieval.

head - the start resource of the RDF Collection. May not be null.

collectionConsumer - a Consumer function to which all retrieved statements will be reported. May not be null.

contexts - the context(s) from which to read the RDF Collection. This argument is an optional vararg and can be left out.

Throws:

RepositoryException - if an error occurred while reading the collection statements, for example if a cycle is detected in the RDF collection, or some other anomaly which makes it non-wellformed.

• RDF Schema 1.1 section on Collection vocabulary.

getRDFCollection

public static <C extends Collection<Statement>> C getRDFCollection(RepositoryConnection conn,
 Resource head,
 C statementCollection,
 Resource... contexts)
                                                            throws RepositoryException

Retrieve all Statements that together form the RDF Collection starting with the supplied starting resource.

Parameters:

conn - the RepositoryConnection to use for statement retrieval.

head - the start resource of the RDF Collection. May not be null.

statementCollection - a Collection of Statements (for example, a Model) to which all retrieved statements will be reported. May not be null.

contexts - the context(s) from which to read the RDF Collection. This argument is an optional vararg and can be left out.

Returns:

the input statement collection, with the statements forming the retrieved RDF Collection added.

Throws:

RepositoryException - if an error occurred while reading the collection statements, for example if a cycle is detected in the RDF collection, or some other anomaly which makes it non-wellformed.

getStatement

public static Optional<Statement> getStatement(RepositoryConnection conn,
 Resource subject,
 IRI predicate,
 Value object,
 Resource... contexts)
                                        throws RepositoryException

Retrieve a single Statement matching with the supplied subject, predicate, object and context(s) from the given RepositoryConnection. If more than one Statement matches, any one Statement is selected and returned.

Parameters:

conn - the RepositoryConnection from which to retrieve the statement.

subject - the subject to which the statement should match. May be null.

predicate - the predicate to which the statement should match. May be null.

object - the object to which the statement should match. May be null .

contexts - the context(s) from which to read the Statement. This argument is an optional vararg and can be left out.

Returns:

an Optional of Statement. If no matching Statement was found, Optional.empty() is returned.

Throws:

RepositoryException
