NAME¶
RDF::Closure::Model - RDF::Trine::Model-compatible inferface
DESCRIPTION¶
This module provides a subclass of RDF::Trine::Model allowing you to dollop some
reasoning into existing RDF::Trine code very easily. While
RDF::Closure::Engine allows you to infer lots of new statements from an
existing model, this class also allows you to add and remove statements from
the reasoned model with new inferences calculated on-the-fly.
Removing a statement is much slower than adding one, though adding a statement
isn't what you'd call fast. Juditious use of "begin_bulk_ops" and
"end_bulk_ops" is recomnmended.
If a lot of statements have been added and removed from a model since it was
created, then it's theoretically possible for the inferred data to contain
statements which are no longer entailed by the explicit data, or for the
inferred data to be missing some inferences. A "recalculate" method
is provided which allows you to re-run the inference from scratch.
Constructor¶
- •
- "new($input, [, engine => $engine ] [, store => $store ])"
Instantiates a module. $input may be undef, an existing RDF::Trine::Model or
an RDF::Trine::Store. The input will not be modified.
$engine is the inference engine to use; a string suitable for passing to
"RDF::Closure::Engine->new"; defaults to 'RDFS'.
$store is an RDF::Trine::Store to use to build the inferred model in;
defaults to a new, temporary store.
Methods¶
This package inherits from RDF::Trine::Model and provides all the methods it
does. It additionally provides:
- •
- "entailment_regime"
Returns a URI string identifying the type of inference in use.
- •
- "recalculate"
Drops and re-infers all inferred data.
SEE ALSO¶
RDF::Closure, RDF::Closure::Engine, RDF::Trine::Model.
Take careful note of the "begin_bulk_ops" and "end_bulk_ops"
methods present in RDF::Trine::Model. Judicious use of them can seriously
speed up this module.
