Docs For Class LibRDF

Description

A wrapper around the librdf_node datatype.

The values of nodes come from three potential, disjoint sets: URIs, literal strings and blank identifiers. These types are represented by LibRDF_URINode, LibRDF_LiteralNode and LibRDF_BlankNode, respectively.

Method Summary

static LibRDF_Node makeNode (resource $node)

void __destruct ()

resource getNode ()

boolean isEqual (LibRDF_Node $node)

Variables

resource $node (line 65)

The underlying librdf_node resource.

This value must be set by the constructors for the concrete node types.

access: protected

Methods

static method makeNode (line 151)

Wrap a librdf_node resource in the correct Node object.

This function is intended for use by LibRDF classes, allowing them to easily convert a librdf_node resource into the correct type of LibRDF_Node object.

return: A concrete object implementing Node
access: public
throws: LibRDF_Error If unable to create a new node

static LibRDF_Node makeNode (resource $node)

resource $node: The librdf_node to convert

Destructor __destruct (line 73)

Destroy the Node object.

access: public

void __destruct ()

getNode (line 133)

Return the underlying librdf_node resource.

This function is intended for other LibRDF classes and should not be called.

return: The wrapped node
access: public

resource getNode ()

isEqual (line 119)

Compare this node with another node for equality.

Nodes of different types are not equal; thus, a URI of http://example.org/ and a literal string of http://example.org are not equal, even though they contain the same string. Similarly, literal nodes must match in both type and language to be considered equal.

return: Whether the nodes are equal
access: public

boolean isEqual (LibRDF_Node $node)

LibRDF_Node $node: The node against which to compare

__clone (line 87)

Create a new node object from an existing node.

access: public
throws: LibRDF_Error If unable to copy the node

void __clone ()

__toString (line 102)

Return a string representation of the node.

return: A string representation of the node
access: public

string __toString ()
