NAME

ODO::Statement - Encapsulation of an RDF triple for graphs

SYNOPSIS

 use ODO::Node;
 use ODO::Statement;

 my $s = ODO::Node::Resource->new('urn:lsid:testuri.org:ns:object:');
 my $p = ODO::Node::Resource->new('http://testuri.org/predicate');
 my $o = ODO::Node::Literal->new('literal');

 my $statement_1 = ODO::Statement->new($s, $p, $o);

 # or

 my $statement_2 = ODO::Statement->new(s=> $s, p=> $p, o=> $o);

 # and then..

 if($statement_1->equals($statement_2)) {
        print "\$statement_1 == \$statement_2\n";
 }      
 else {
        print "The statements are not equal\n";
 }

DESCRIPTION

A simple container that encapsulates a single RDF statement. This object also provides tests for equality.

METHODS

new( s=> $subject, p=> $predicate, o=> $object)
new( $s, $p, $o ): Creates a new ODO::Statement object with the specified subject ($s), predicate ($p), object ($o) The subject, predicate, object must be any combination of ODO::Node::Resource, ODO::Node::Literal, ODO::Node::Variable, ODO::Node::Blank (more generically, anything that conforms to ODO::Node).
s( [ $subject ] ): Get or set the subject of this statement.
p( [ $predicate ] ): Get or set the predicate of this statement.
o( [ $object ] ): Get or set the object of this statement
equal( $statement ): Determines whether or not the statement is the same as the statement passed as the parameter.
strict_equal( $statement ): Tests whether or not $self and $statement are the same statement, ODO::Node nodes _MUST_ match in this method.

NAME

ODO::Statement::Virtual - Encapsulation of an virtual RDF triple pattern.

SYNOPSIS use ODO::Node; use ODO::Statement::Virtual;

 my $s = ODO::Node::Resource->new('urn:lsid:testuri.org:ns:object:');
 my $p = ODO::Node::Resource->new('http://testuri.org/predicate');
 my $o = ODO::Node::Literal->new('literal');

 my $virtual_1 = ODO::Statement::Virtual->new($s, $p, $o);

 my $virtual_2 = ODO::Statement::Virtual->new(s=> $s, p=> $p, o=> $o);

 if($statement_1->equals($statement_2)) {
        print "\$statement_1 == \$statement_2\n";
 }
 else {
        print "The statements are not equal\n";
 }

DESCRIPTION

These objects are used in the presences of a reasoner to create statements that have been inferred in order to differentiate them from statements that are actually 'in' the graph.
