RDF 1.1 API

This library provides a new API on top of library(semweb/rdf_db). The new API follows the RDF 1.1 terminology and notation as much as possible. It runs on top of the old API, which implies that applications can use the new API in one file and the other in another one. Once the new API is considered stable and robust the old API will be deprecated.

In a nutshell, the following issues are addressed:

 rdf(?S, ?P, ?O) is nondet
 rdf(?S, ?P, ?O, ?G) is nondet
True if an RDF triple <S,P,O> exists, optionally in the graph G. The object O is either a resource (atom) or one of the terms listed below. The described types apply for the case where O is unbound. If O is instantiated it is converted according to the rules described with rdf_assert/3.

Triples consist of the following three terms:

Notes:

(1) The current implementation of xsd:decimal values as floats is formally incorrect. Future versions of SWI-Prolog may introduce decimal as a subtype of rational.
(2) SS fields denote the number of seconds. This can either be an integer or a float.
(3) The date_time structure can have a 7th field that denotes the timezone offset in seconds as an integer.

In addition, a ground object value is translated into a properly typed RDF literal using rdf_canonical_literal/2.

There is a fine distinction in how duplicate statements are handled in rdf/[3,4]: backtracking over rdf/3 will never return duplicate triples that appear in multiple graphs. rdf/4 will return such duplicate triples, because their graph term differs.

Arguments:
S- is the subject term. It is either a blank node or IRI.
P- is the predicate term. It is always an IRI.
O- is the object term. It is either a literal, a blank node or IRI (except for true and false that denote the values of datatype XSD boolean).
G- is the graph term. It is always an IRI.

Similar to rdf/3 and rdf/4, but P matches all predicates that are defined as an rdfs:subPropertyOf of P. This predicate also recognises the predicate properties inverse_of and symmetric. See rdf_set_predicate/2.

 rdf_update(+S, +P, +O, ++Action) is det
 rdf_update(+S, +P, +O, +G, ++Action) is det
Replaces one of the three fields on the matching triples depending on Action:
subject(Resource)
Changes the first field of the triple.
predicate(Resource)
Changes the second field of the triple.
object(Object)
Changes the last field of the triple to the given resource or literal(Value).
graph(Graph)
Moves the triple from its current named graph to Graph. This only works with rdf_update/4 and will throw an error when used with rdf_update/3.

The argument matching the action must be ground. If this argument is equivalent to the current value, no action is performed. Otherwise, the requested action is performed on all matching triples. For example, all resources typed rdfs:Class can be changed to owl:Class using

?- rdf_update(_, rdf:type, rdfs:'Class',
              object(owl:'Class')).
Errors
- instantiation_error if Action or the matching argument is not ground.
- domain_error(rdf_update_action, Action) if Action is not one of the above terms.

 rdf_reachable(?S, +P, ?O) is nondet
 rdf_reachable(?S, +P, ?O, +MaxD, -D) is nondet
True when O can be reached from S using the transitive closure of P. The predicate uses (the internals of) rdf_has/3 and thus matches both rdfs:subPropertyOf and the inverse_of and symmetric predicate properties. The version rdf_reachable/5 maximizes the steps considered and returns the number of steps taken.

If both S and O are given, these predicates are semidet. The number of steps D is minimal because the implementation uses breath first search.

  437    post_object(O,O0).
 rdf_assert(+S, +P, +O) is det
 rdf_assert(+S, +P, +O, +G) is det
Assert a new triple. If O is a literal, certain Prolog terms are translated to typed RDF literals. These conversions are described with rdf_canonical_literal/2.

If a type is provided using Value^^Type syntax, additional conversions are performed. All types accept either an atom or Prolog string holding a valid RDF lexical value for the type and xsd:float and xsd:double accept a Prolog integer.

 rdf_retractall(?S, ?P, ?O) is nondet
 rdf_retractall(?S, ?P, ?O, ?G) is nondet
Remove all matching triples from the database. Matching is performed using the same rules as rdf/3. The call does not instantiate any of its arguments.

True if the RDF terms Left and Right are ordered according to the comparison operator Diff. The ordering is defines as:

Note that this ordering is a complete ordering of RDF terms that is consistent with the partial ordering defined by SPARQL.

Arguments:

 {}(+Where) is semidet
 rdf_where(+Where) is semidet
Formulate constraints on RDF terms, notably literals. These are intended to be used as illustrated below. RDF constraints are pure: they may be placed before, after or inside a graph pattern and, provided the code contains no commit operations (!, ->), the semantics of the goal remains the same. Preferably, constraints are placed before the graph pattern as they often help the RDF database to exploit its literal indexes. In the example below, the database can choose between using the subject and/or predicate hash or the ordered literal table.
    { Date >= "2000-01-01"^^xsd:date },
    rdf(S, P, Date)

The following constraints are currently defined:

>,>=,==,=<,<
The comparison operators are defined between numbers (of any recognised type), typed literals of the same type and langStrings of the same language.
prefix(String, Pattern)
substring(String, Pattern)
word(String, Pattern)
like(String, Pattern)
icase(String, Pattern)
Text matching operators that act on both typed literals and langStrings.
lang_matches(Term, Pattern)
Demands a full RDF term (Text@Lang) or a plain Lang term to match the language pattern Pattern.

The predicates rdf_where/1 and {}/1 are identical. The rdf_where/1 variant is provided to avoid ambiguity in applications where {}/1 is used for other purposes. Note that it is also possible to write rdf11:{...}.

 rdf_is_iri(@IRI) is semidet
True if IRI is an RDF IRI term.

For performance reasons, this does not check for compliance to the syntax defined in RFC 3987. This checks whether the term is (1) an atom and (2) not a blank node identifier.

Success of this goal does not imply that the IRI is present in the database (see rdf_iri/1 for that).

 rdf_is_bnode(@Term) is semidet
True if Term is an RDF blank node identifier.

A blank node is represented by an atom that starts with _:.

Success of this goal does not imply that the blank node is present in the database (see rdf_bnode/1 for that).

For backwards compatibility, atoms that are represented with an atom that starts with __ are also considered to be a blank node.

 rdf_is_literal(@Term) is semidet
True if Term is an RDF literal term.

An RDF literal term is of the form `String@LanguageTag or Value^^Datatype`.

Success of this goal does not imply that the literal is well-formed or that it is present in the database (see rdf_literal/1 for that).

 rdf_is_object(@Term) is semidet
True if Term can appear in the object position of a triple.

Success of this goal does not imply that the object term in well-formed or that it is present in the database (see rdf_object/1) for that).

Since any RDF term can appear in the object position, this is equaivalent to rdf_is_term/1.

 1776rdf_is_object(T) :- rdf_is_literal(T).
 rdf_is_predicate(@Term) is semidet
True if Term can appear in the predicate position of a triple.

Success of this goal does not imply that the predicate term is present in the database (see rdf_predicate/1) for that).

Since only IRIs can appear in the predicate position, this is equivalent to rdf_is_iri/1.

 1789rdf_is_predicate(T) :- rdf_is_iri(T).
 rdf_is_subject(@Term) is semidet
True if Term can appear in the subject position of a triple.

Only blank nodes and IRIs can appear in the subject position.

Success of this goal does not imply that the subject term is present in the database (see rdf_subject/1) for that).

Since blank nodes are represented by atoms that start with `_:` and an IRIs are atoms as well, this is equivalent to atom(Term).

 1805rdf_is_subject(T) :- atom(T).
 rdf_is_term(@Term) is semidet
True if Term can be used as an RDF term, i.e., if Term is either an IRI, a blank node or an RDF literal.

 rdf_list(?RDFTerm) is semidet
True if RDFTerm is a proper RDF list. This implies that every node in the list has an rdf:first and rdf:rest property and the list ends in rdf:nil.
