Method Summary

CloseableIterator<org.openrdf.model.Statement>	getStatements() Iterates the statements.
InformationSet	read(java.lang.Class<? extends InformationSet> parameterType) Reads a parameters from the RDF statements.
InformationSet	read(java.lang.Class<? extends InformationSet> parameterType, org.openrdf.model.URI parameterName) Reads a parameters from the RDF statements.
InformationSet[]	readAll(java.lang.Class<? extends InformationSet> parameterType) Returns all objects from a specified type that could be constructed from this RDF data.
SetOfStatements	toRDF(SetOfStatements data) Serializes this object to SetOfStatements.
void	write(InformationSet parameter) Writes parameter to RDF data using a auto-generated parameterName.
void	write(InformationSet parameter, org.openrdf.model.URI parameterName) Writes parameter to RDF data using a explicit parameterName.

Method Detail

write

void write(InformationSet parameter,
           org.openrdf.model.URI parameterName)

Writes parameter to RDF data using a explicit parameterName. The parameterName should be always used to identify different parameters from the same type.

Parameters:

parameter - to be serialized

parameterName - parameter overloading

write

void write(InformationSet parameter)

Writes parameter to RDF data using a auto-generated parameterName. This method should be used if each parameterType is used only one time.

Parameters:

parameter - to be serialized

read

InformationSet read(java.lang.Class<? extends InformationSet> parameterType)

Reads a parameters from the RDF statements. This method returns the first occurrence of the type.

Parameters:

parameterType - type to be constructed

Returns:

constructed type or null

read

InformationSet read(java.lang.Class<? extends InformationSet> parameterType,
                    org.openrdf.model.URI parameterName)

Reads a parameters from the RDF statements. This method returns the first occurrence of the type with the specified parameterName.

Parameters:

parameterType - type to be constructed

parameterName - is used to distinguish parameter overloading

Returns:

constructed type or null

readAll

InformationSet[] readAll(java.lang.Class<? extends InformationSet> parameterType)

Returns all objects from a specified type that could be constructed from this RDF data.

Parameters:

parameterType - type to be constructed

Returns:

list of types

getStatements

CloseableIterator<org.openrdf.model.Statement> getStatements()

Description copied from interface: SetOfStatements

Iterates the statements.

Specified by:

getStatements in interface SetOfStatements

Returns:

closeableiterator over the statements.s

toRDF

SetOfStatements toRDF(SetOfStatements data)

Description copied from interface: InformationSet

Serializes this object to SetOfStatements.

Specified by:

toRDF in interface InformationSet

Parameters:

data - is stream to serialize this object to.

Returns:

reference to the set of statements that contains the serialized data.
