Interface RDFLink

AutoCloseable, LinkDatasetGraph, LinkDatasetGraphAccess, LinkSparqlQuery, LinkSparqlUpdate, Transactional
All Known Implementing Classes:
RDFLinkAdapter, RDFLinkDataset, RDFLinkFuseki, RDFLinkHTTP, RDFLinkModular
public interface RDFLink extends LinkSparqlQuery, LinkSparqlUpdate, LinkDatasetGraph, Transactional, AutoCloseable
Interface for SPARQL operations on a dataset, whether local or remote. Operations can be performed via this interface or via the various interfaces for a subset of the operations. For remote operations, the SPARQL Protocol is used for query and updates and SPARQL Graph Store Protocol for the graph operations and in addition, there are analogous operations on datasets (fetch, load, put; but not delete). RDFLink provides transaction boundaries. If not in a transaction, an implicit transactional wrapper is applied ("autocommit"). Remote SPARQL operations are atomic but without additional capabilities from the remote server, multiple operations are not combined into a single transaction. Not all implementations may implement all operations. See the implementation notes for details.

  • Method Details

    • connect

      static RDFLink connect(DatasetGraph dataset)
      Connect to a local (same JVM) dataset. The default isolation is NONE. See connect(DatasetGraph, Isolation) to select an isolation mode.
      Parameters:
      dataset -
      Returns:
      RDFLink
      See Also:

    • connect

      static RDFLink connect(DatasetGraph dataset, Isolation isolation)
      Connect to a local (same JVM) dataset.

      Multiple levels of Isolation are provided, The default COPY level makes a local RDFLink behave like a remote connection. See the documentation for more details.

      • COPY – Models and Datasets are copied. This is most like a remote connection.
      • READONLY – Read-only wrappers are added but changes to the underlying model or dataset will be seen.
      • NONE (default) – Changes to the returned Models or Datasets act on the original object.
      Parameters:
      dataset -
      isolation -
      Returns:
      RDFConnection

    • queryConnect

      static RDFLink queryConnect(String queryServiceURL)
      Create a connection to a remote location for SPARQL query requests
      Parameters:
      queryServiceURL -
      Returns:
      RDFConnection

    • connect

      static RDFLink connect(String serviceURL)
      Create a connection to a remote location by URL. This is the URL for the dataset.

      This is the URL for the dataset. Other names can be specified using RDFLinkHTTP.newBuilder() and setting the endpoint URLs. 

       RDFConnectionRemote.newBuilder()
       .queryEndpoint(queryServiceEndpoint)
       .updateEndpoint(updateServiceEndpoint)
       .gspEndpoint(graphStoreProtocolEndpoint)
       .build();
      Parameters:
      serviceURL -
      Returns:
      RDFConnection

    • connectPW

      static RDFLink connectPW(String URL, String user, String password)
      Make a remote RDFConnection to the URL, with user and password for the client access using basic auth. Use with care – basic auth over plain HTTP reveals the password on the network.
      Parameters:
      URL -
      user -
      password -
      Returns:
      RDFConnection
