RDF 1.1 Containers

Implementation of the conventional human interpretation of RDF 1.1 containers.

RDF containers are open enumeration structures as opposed to RDF collections or RDF lists which are closed enumeration structures. The same resource may appear in a container more than once. A container may be contained in itself.

 rdf_alt(+Alt, ?Default, ?Others) is nondet
True when Alt is an instance of rdf:Alt with first member Default and remaining members Others.

Notice that this construct adds no machine-processable semantics but is conventionally used to indicate to a human reader that the numerical ordering of the container membership properties of Container is intended to only be relevant in distinguishing between the first and all non-first members.

Default denotes the default option to take when choosing one of the alternatives container in Container. Others denotes the non-default options that can be chosen from.

  116rdf_alt(Alt, Default, Others) :-
  117    rdfs_container(Alt, [Default|Others]).
 rdf_assert_alt(?Alt, +Default, +Others:list) is det
 rdf_assert_alt(?Alt, +Default, +Others:list, +Graph) is det
Create an rdf:Alt with the given Default and Others. Default and the members of Others must be valid object terms for rdf_assert/3.
  126rdf_assert_alt(Alt, H, T) :-
  127    rdf_default_graph(G),
  128    rdf_assert_alt(Alt, H, T, G).
  129
  130rdf_assert_alt(Alt, H, T, G) :-
  131    rdfs_assert_container(Alt, rdf:'Alt', [H|T], G).
 rdf_bag(+Bag, -List:list) is nondet
True when Bag is an rdf:Bag and set is the set values related through container membership properties to Bag.

Notice that this construct adds no machine-processable semantics but is conventionally used to indicate to a human reader that the numerical ordering of the container membership properties of Container is intended to not be significant.

  144rdf_bag(Bag, List) :-
  145    rdfs_container(Bag, List).
 rdf_assert_bag(?Bag, +Set:list) is det
 rdf_assert_bag(?Bag, +Set:list, +Graph) is det
Create an rdf:Bag from the given set of values. The members of Set must be valid object terms for rdf_assert/3.
  154rdf_assert_bag(Bag, L) :-
  155    rdf_default_graph(G),
  156    rdf_assert_bag(Bag, L, G).
  157
  158rdf_assert_bag(Bag, L, G) :-
  159    rdfs_assert_container(Bag, rdf:'Bag', L, G).
 rdf_seq(+Seq, -List:list) is nondet
True when Seq is an instance of rdf:Seq and List is a list of associated values, ordered according to the container membership property used.

Notice that this construct adds no machine-processable semantics but is conventionally used to indicate to a human reader that the numerical ordering of the container membership properties of Container is intended to be significant.

  173rdf_seq(Seq, L) :-
  174    rdfs_container(Seq, L).
 rdf_assert_seq(?Seq, +List) is det
 rdf_assert_seq(?Seq, +List, +Graph) is det
  180rdf_assert_seq(Seq, L) :-

  182    rdf_assert_seq(Seq, L, G).
  183rdf_assert_seq(Seq, L, G) :-
  184    rdfs_assert_container(Seq, rdf:'Seq', L, G).
 rdfs_assert_container(?Container, +Class, +Elems, +Graph)
  189rdfs_assert_container(Container, Class, Elems, G) :-
  190    must_be(list, Elems),
  191    rdf_transaction(rdfs_assert_container_(Container, Class, Elems, G)).
  192
  193rdfs_assert_container_(Container, Class, Elems, G) :-
  194    (var(Container) -> rdf_create_bnode(Container) ; true),
  195    rdf_assert(Container, rdf:type, Class, G),
  196    rdfs_assert_members(Elems, 1, Container, G).
  197
  198rdfs_assert_members([], _, _, _).
  199rdfs_assert_members([H|T], N1, Resource, G) :-
  200    !,
  201    rdf_equal(rdf:'_', Prefix),
  202    atom_concat(Prefix, N1, P),
  203    rdf_assert(Resource, P, H, G),
  204    N2 is N1 + 1,
  205    rdfs_assert_members(T, N2, Resource, G).
 rdfs_container(+Container, -List) is nondet
True when List is the list of objects attached to Container using a container membership property (rdf:_0, rdf:_1, ...). If multiple objects are connected to the Container using the same membership property, this predicate selects one value non-deterministically.
  216rdfs_container(Container, List) :-
  217    rdf_is_subject(Container),
  218    !,
  219    findall(N-Elem, rdfs_member0(Container, N, Elem), Pairs),
  220    keysort(Pairs, Sorted),
  221    group_pairs_by_key(Sorted, GroupedPairs),
  222    pairs_values(GroupedPairs, Groups),
  223    maplist(member, List, Groups).
  224rdfs_container(Container, _) :-
  225    type_error(rdf_subject, Container).
 rdfs_container_membership_property(?Property) is nondet
True when Property is a container membership property (rdf:_1, rdf:_2, ...).
  233rdfs_container_membership_property(P) :-
  234    rdfs_container_membership_property(P, _).
 rdfs_container_membership_property(?Property, ?Number:nonneg) is nondet
True when Property is the Nth container membership property.

Success of this goal does not imply that Property is present in the database.

  244rdfs_container_membership_property(P, N) :-
  245    var(P),
  246    !,
  247    between(1, inf, N),
  248    rdf_equal(rdf:'_', Prefix),
  249    atom_concat(Prefix, N, P).
  250rdfs_container_membership_property(P, N) :-
  251    atom(P),
  252    rdf_equal(rdf:'_', Prefix),
  253    string_concat(Prefix, NumS, P),
  254    number_string(N, NumS),
  255    integer(N),
  256    N >= 0.
 rdfs_member(?Elem, ?Container) is nondet
True if rdf(Container, P, Elem) is true and P is a container membership property.
  264rdfs_member(Elem, Container) :-
  265    rdfs_member0(Container, _, Elem).
 rdfs_nth0(?N, ?Container, ?Elem) is nondet
True if rdf(Container, P, Elem) is true and P is the N-th (0-based) container membership property.
  272rdfs_nth0(N, Container, Elem) :-
  273    rdfs_member0(Container, N, Elem).
 rdfs_member0(?Container, ?N, ?Elem) is nondet
What is the most efficient way to enumerate rdfs_member(-,-)?
  1. If we enumerate over all container membership properties (= the current implementation) then it takes N steps before we get to triple `<Container, rdf:_N, Elem>`, for arbitrary N.
  2. The alternative is to enumerate over all triples and check whether the predicate term is a container membership property.
  3. The choice between (1) and (2) depends on whether the number of currently loaded triples in larger/smaller than the largest number that appears in a container membership property. This means enumerating over all predicate terms using rdf_predicate/1.

  293    (nonvar(Container) ; nonvar(Elem)),
  294    !,
  295    rdf_has(Container, P, Elem),
  296    rdfs_container_membership_property(P, N).

  298    rdfs_container_membership_property(P, N),
  299    rdf_has(Container, P, Elem)
