Constructor Detail

TransitiveEngine

public TransitiveEngine(TransitiveGraphCache subClassCache,
                        TransitiveGraphCache subPropertyCache)

Constructor.

Parameters:

subClassCache - pre-initialized subclass TGC

subPropertyCache - pre-initialized subproperty TGC

TransitiveEngine

public TransitiveEngine(TransitiveEngine tengine)

Constructor.

Parameters:

tengine - an instance of TransitiveEngine to be cloned

Method Detail

insert

public Finder insert(Finder baseData,
                     FGraph newData)

Prepare the engine by inserting any new data not already included in the existing caches.

Parameters:

baseData - the base dataset on which the initial caches were based, could be null

newData - a dataset to be added to the engine, not known to be already included in the caches from construction time

Returns:

a concatenation of the inserted data and the original data

getSubClassCache

public TransitiveGraphCache getSubClassCache()

Return the cache of the subclass lattice.

getSubPropertyCache

public TransitiveGraphCache getSubPropertyCache()

Return the cache of the subclass lattice.

setCaching

public void setCaching(boolean cacheSP,
                       boolean cacheSC)

Set the closure caching flags.

Parameters:

cacheSP - true if caching of subPropertyOf closure is wanted

cacheSC - true if caching of subClassOf closure is wanted

getFinder

public Finder getFinder(TriplePattern pattern,
                        Finder continuation)

Return a Finder instance appropriate for the given query.

add

public boolean add(Triple t)

Add one triple to caches if it is relevant.

Returns:

true if the triple affected the caches

delete

public boolean delete(Triple t)

Removes the triple t (if relevant) from the caches.

Returns:

true if the triple affected the caches

checkOccurance

public boolean checkOccurance(Node prop,
                              Graph graph)

Test if there are any usages of prop within the given graph. This includes indirect usages incurred by subProperties of prop.

Parameters:

prop - the property to be checked for

graph - the graph to be check

Returns:

true if there is a triple using prop or one of its sub properties

cacheSubClassUtility

public static boolean cacheSubClassUtility(Finder graph,
                                           TransitiveGraphCache spCache,
                                           TransitiveGraphCache scCache)

Caches all subClass declarations, including those that are defined via subProperties of subClassOf. Public to allow other reasoners to use it but not of interest to end users.

Parameters:

graph - a graph whose declarations are to be cached

spCache - the existing state of the subPropertyOf cache

scCache - the existing state of the subClassOf cache, will be updated

Returns:

true if there were new metalevel declarations discovered.

cacheSubPropUtility

public static boolean cacheSubPropUtility(Finder graph,
                                          TransitiveGraphCache spCache)

Caches all subPropertyOf declarations, including any meta level ones (subPropertyOf subPropertyOf). Public to allow other reasoners to use it but not of interest to end users.

Parameters:

graph - a graph whose declarations are to be cached

spCache - the existing state of the subPropertyOf cache, will be updated

Returns:

true if there were new metalevel declarations discovered.
