NAME

6       RDF::Trine::Node::Formula - RDF Node class for formulae / graph
7       literals
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Formulae are implemented as a subclass of literals. Parts of Trine that
11       have no special knowledge about formulae (e.g. the Turtle serialiser)
12       will just see them as literals with a particular datatype URI
13       (http://open.vocab.org/terms/Formula).
14
15       If your code needs to detect formulae nodes, try:
16
17         use Scalar::Util qw[blessed];
18         if (blessed($node) && $node->isa('RDF::Trine::Node::Formula'))
19           { ... do stuff to formulae ... }
20
21       or perhaps
22
23         use Scalar::Util qw[blessed];
24         if (blessed($node) && $node->can('pattern'))
25           { ... do stuff to formulae ... }
26

Constructor

28       "new ( $pattern )"
29           Returns a new Formula structure. This is a subclass of
30           RDF::Trine::Node::Literal.
31
32           $pattern is an RDF::Trine::Pattern or a string capable of being
33           parsed with RDF::Trine::Parser::Notation3->parse_formula.
34

Methods

36       "pattern ( $node )"
37           Returns the formula as an RDF::Trine::Pattern.
38
39       "forAll"
40           Returns the a list of nodes with the @forAll quantifier.
41
42           This is a fairly obscure bit of N3 semantics.
43
44       "forSome"
45           Returns the a list of nodes with the @forSome quantifier.
46
47           This is a fairly obscure bit of N3 semantics.
48
49       "as_literal_notation"
50           Returns the formula in Notation-3-like syntax, excluding the
51           wrapping "{"..."}".
52
53           Uses absolute URIs whenever possible, avoiding relative URI
54           references, QNames and keywords.
55
56       "from_literal_notation ( $string, $base )"
57           Modifies the formula's value using Notation 3 syntax, excluding the
58           wrapping "{"..."}".
59
60       "equal ( $node )"
61           Returns true if the two nodes are equal, false otherwise.
62
63           TODO - really need a "not equal, but equivalent" method.
