java.lang.Object
  net.fortytwo.sesametools.mappingsail.MappingSchema

public class MappingSchema
extends Object

A set of rules for rewriting URIs based on direction (to or from the data store) and part of speech (the position in an RDF statement in which a URI appears)

Author:

Joshua Shinavier (http://fortytwo.net)

Nested Class Summary

static class	MappingSchema.Direction The direction of a URI rewriting rule: inbound rules map externally visible URIs to the URIs found in the data store, while outbound rules do the opposite.
static class	MappingSchema.PartOfSpeech The position in an RDF statement in which a URI appears

Constructor Summary

MappingSchema()

Method Summary

RewriteRule	getRewriter(MappingSchema.PartOfSpeech partOfSpeech, MappingSchema.Direction direction)
void	setRewriter(MappingSchema.Direction direction, MappingSchema.PartOfSpeech partOfSpeech, RewriteRule rule) Defines an inbound or outbound URI rewriter for a specific part of speech (subject, predicate, object, or context).
void	setRewriter(MappingSchema.Direction direction, RewriteRule rule) Defines an inbound or outbound URI rewriter.

Method Detail

getRewriter

public RewriteRule getRewriter(MappingSchema.PartOfSpeech partOfSpeech,
                               MappingSchema.Direction direction)

Parameters:

partOfSpeech - the position in an RDF statement (subject, predicate, object or context) in which the URI appears

direction - whether this is a rule to map externally visible URIs to internal URIs (inbound) or the reverse (outbound)

Returns:

the matching rewriting rule. If no such rule has been explicitly defined, the default rule (the identity mapping) is returned.

setRewriter

public void setRewriter(MappingSchema.Direction direction,
                        RewriteRule rule)

Defines an inbound or outbound URI rewriter.

Parameters:

direction - whether this is a rule to map externally visible URIs to internal URIs (inbound) or the reverse (outbound)

rule - the rewriting rule

setRewriter

public void setRewriter(MappingSchema.Direction direction,
                        MappingSchema.PartOfSpeech partOfSpeech,
                        RewriteRule rule)

Defines an inbound or outbound URI rewriter for a specific part of speech (subject, predicate, object, or context).

Parameters:

partOfSpeech - the part of speech to which this rewriter applies

direction - whether this is a rule to map externally visible URIs to internal URIs (inbound) or the reverse (outbound)

rule - the rewriting rule
