Interface ServiceBits

public interface ServiceBits

A class with SKOS API bits not yet added to the Service class.

This is a temporary class storing fragments of API that may eventually move into the Service class. Everything here is unstable.

The Mapping methods are the next likely parts to be added.

Return a list of all mappings from the concept identified by preferred label to the target thesaurus, according to the given semantic mapping relation.

Parameters:
prefLabel - The prefered label of the concept.
relation - The semantic mapping relation.
targetThesaurus - The target thesaurus in a mapping.

getAllConceptMappings

public Mapping[] getAllConceptMappings(Concept concept,
                                       URI targetThesaurus)

Parameters:
concept - The concept.
targetThesaurus - The target thesaurus in a mapping.

getAllConceptMappingsByLabel

public Mapping[] getAllConceptMappingsByLabel(java.lang.String prefLabel,
                                              URI sourceThesaurus,

targetThesaurus - The target thesaurus in a mapping.

RDFquery

public Binding[] RDFquery(java.lang.String modelReference,
                          java.lang.String query,
                          URI queryLanguage)
Return the result of an RDF query on the graph

Parameters:
modelReference - URI of the graph model.
query - The query string.
queryLanguage - The URI identifying the query language. STATUS: experimental Intended to be similar to the RDF Net API http://www.w3.org/Submission/2003/SUBM-rdf-netapi-20031002/ Query operation with the result format only allowing bindings

getConceptAsSyntax
