makeGraphClosureRule :: GraphClosure RDFLabel -> Rule RDFGraph Source

Define a value of type Rule based on an RDFClosure value.

makeRDFGraphFromN3Builder :: Builder -> RDFGraph Source

Helper function to parse a string containing Notation3 and return the corresponding RDFGraph value.

makeRDFFormula Source

Arguments

:: Namespace	namespace to which the formula is allocated
-> LName	local name for the formula in the namespace
-> Builder	graph in Notation 3 format
-> RDFFormula

Create an RDF formula.

makeRDFClosureRule Source

Arguments

:: ScopedName	scoped name for the new rule
-> [RDFGraph]	RDFGraphs that are the entecedent of the rule. (Note: bnodes and variable names are assumed to be shared by all the entecedent graphs supplied. is this right?)
-> RDFGraph	the consequent graph
-> RDFVarBindingModify	is a variable binding modifier value that may impose additional conditions on the variable bindings that can be used for this inference rule, or which may cause new values to be allocated for unbound variables. These modifiers allow for certain inference patterns that are not captured by simple closure rules, such as the allocation of bnodes corresponding to literals, and are an extension point for incorporating datatypes into an inference process. If no additional constraints or variable bindings are to be applied, use value `varBindingId`
-> RDFRule

Constructs an RDF graph closure rule. That is, a rule that given some set of antecedent statements returns new statements that may be added to the graph.

Create rules using Notation3 statements

makeN3ClosureRule Source

Arguments

:: Namespace	namespace to which the rule is allocated
-> LName	local name for the rule in the namespace
-> Builder	the Notation3 representation of the antecedent graph. (Note: multiple antecedents can be handled by combining multiple graphs.)
-> Builder	the Notation3 representation of the consequent graph.
-> RDFVarBindingModify	a variable binding modifier value that may impose additional conditions on the variable bindings that can be used for this inference rule, or which may cause new values to be allocated for unbound variables. These modifiers allow for certain inference patterns that are not captured by simple closure rules, such as the allocation of bnodes corresponding to literals, and are an extension point for incorporating datatypes into an inference process. If no additional constraints or variable bindings are to be applied, use a value of `varBindingId`, or use `makeN3ClosureSimpleRule`.
-> RDFRule

Constructs an RDF graph closure rule. That is, a rule that given some set of antecedent statements returns new statements that may be added to the graph. This is the basis for implementation of most of the inference rules given in the RDF formal semantics document.

makeN3ClosureSimpleRule Source

Arguments

:: Namespace	namespace to which the rule is allocated
-> LName	local name for the rule in the namepace
-> Builder	the Notation3 representation of the antecedent graph. (Note: multiple antecedents can be handled by combining multiple graphs.)
-> Builder	the Notation3 representation of the consequent graph.
-> RDFRule

Construct a simple RDF graph closure rule without additional node allocations or variable binding constraints.

makeN3ClosureModifyRule Source

Arguments

:: Namespace	namespace to which the rule is allocated
-> LName	local name for the rule in the given namespace
-> Builder	the Notation3 representation of the antecedent graph. (Note: multiple antecedents can be handled by combining multiple graphs.)
-> Builder	the Notation3 representation of the consequent graph.
-> RDFVarBindingModify	a variable binding modifier value that may impose additional conditions on the variable bindings that can be used for this inference rule (`vflt`). These modifiers allow for certain inference patterns that are not captured by simple closure rules, such as deductions that pertain only to certain kinds of nodes in a graph.
-> RDFVarBindingModify	a variable binding modifier that is applied to the variable bindings obtained, typically to create some additional variable bindings. This is applied before the preceeding filter rule (`vflt`).
-> RDFRule

Constructs an RDF graph closure rule that incorporates a variable binding filter and a variable binding modifier.

makeN3ClosureAllocatorRule Source

Arguments

:: Namespace	namespace to which the rule is allocated
-> LName	local name for the rule in the given namespace
-> Builder	the Notation3 representation of the antecedent graph. (Note: multiple antecedents can be handled by combining multiple graphs.)
-> Builder	the Notation3 representation of the consequent graph.
-> RDFVarBindingModify	variable binding modifier value that may impose additional conditions on the variable bindings that can be used for this inference rule (`vflt`).
-> ([RDFLabel] -> RDFVarBindingModify)	function applied to a list of nodes to yield a variable binding modifier value. The supplied parameter is applied to a list of all of the variable nodes (including all blank nodes) in the antecedent graph, and then composed with the `vflt` value. This allows any node allocation function to avoid allocating any blank nodes that are already used in the antecedent graph. (See `makeNodeAllocTo`).
-> RDFRule

Construct an RDF graph closure rule with a bnode allocator.

This function is rather like makeN3ClosureModifyRule, except that the variable binding modifier is a function from the variables in the variables and bnodes contained in the antecedent graph.

makeNodeAllocTo Source

Arguments

:: RDFLabel	variable node to which a new blank node is bound
-> RDFLabel	variable which is bound in each query to a graph node to which new blank nodes are allocated.
-> [RDFLabel]
-> RDFVarBindingModify

This function defines a variable binding modifier that allocates a new blank node for each value bound to a query variable, and binds it to another variable in each query binding.

This provides a single binding for query variables that would otherwise be unbound by a query. For example, consider the inference pattern:

  ?a hasUncle ?c => ?a hasFather ?b . ?b hasBrother ?c .

For a given ?a and ?c, there is insufficient information here to instantiate a value for variable ?b. Using this function as part of a graph instance closure rule allows forward chaining to allocate a single bnode for each occurrence of ?a, so that given:

  Jimmy hasUncle Fred .
  Jimmy hasUncle Bob .

leads to exactly one bnode inference of:

  Jimmy hasFather _:f .

giving:

  Jimmy hasFather _:f .
  _:f   hasBrother Fred .
  _:f   hasBrother Bob .

rather than:

  Jimmy hasFather _:f1 .
  _:f1  hasBrother Fred .
  Jimmy hasFather _:f2 .
  _:f2  hasBrother Bob .

This form of constrained allocation of bnodes is also required for some of the inference patterns described by the RDF formal semantics, particularly those where bnodes are substituted for URIs or literals.
