<h1>PyKDE4.soprano Module</h1>
<hr><p><h2>Soprano (aka QRDF) - A modular RDF storage framework </h2>
</p>
<p>
%Soprano is a <a href="http://www.qtsoftware.com/">Qt</a>-based pluggable framework for <a href="http://www.w3.org/RDF/">RDF</a>
storage and parsing. It tries to provide a highly usable interface to several RDF storage solutions.
</p>
<p>
<b>Overview </b>
</p>
<p>
%Soprano centers around the Soprano.Model class which represents one storage set. A Soprano.Model is basically a set of
RDF quadruples, i.e. Soprano.Statement. The actual storage is done via Soprano.Backend plugins. All
query operations return Soprano.Iterator instances. Iterator is a explicitely shared class which is very
easy to understand and use.
</p>
<p>
%Soprano makes the distinction between two types of Models: Soprano.StorageModel and Soprano.FilterModel.
The former one is intended to be the basic Model which actually stores the data while the latter ones can be
stacked on top of a Soprano.StorageModel to perform certain filter operations. Thes filter operations can range
from very basic things such as disallowing any write operation (Soprano.Util.ReadOnlyModel) to more complex
things such as full text indexing of all literal statements (Soprano.Index.IndexFilterModel) or exporting
the Model via D-Bus (Soprano.Server.DBusExportModel).
</p>
<p>
Apart from storage %Soprano provides a system for RDF parser and serializer plugins. For more details on parsing
or serializing RDF data see the Soprano.Parser and Soprano.Serializer classes.
</p>
<p>
%Soprano comes with a builtin Soprano.Server Server and Soprano.Client Client implementations allowing to build remote repositories quickly.
Soprano.Client.SparqlModel provides a client to arbitrary <a href="http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-protocol/">SPARQL (SPARQL Protocol and RDF Query Language)</a>
Http services.
</p>
<p>
<b>Quickstart </b>
</p>
<p>
(Also see the soprano_howto for details on building %Soprano applications)
</p>
<p>
Create an RDF Model:
</p>
<p>
<pre class="fragment">
Soprano.Model* model = Soprano.createModel();
</pre>
</p>
<p>
Fill it with statements:
</p>
<p>
<pre class="fragment">
model->addStatement( Soprano.Statement( QUrl( "http://mysite.org/data#A"), Soprano.Vocabulary.RDFS.label(), Soprano.LiteralValue( "A test resource" ) ) );
</pre>
</p>
<p>
Read the data back:
</p>
<p>
<pre class="fragment">
Soprano.StatementIterator it = model->listStatements();
while( it.next() ) {
displayStatement( *it );
}
</pre>
</p>
<p>
Query the data:
</p>
<p>
<pre class="fragment">
Soprano.QueryResultIterator it = model->executeQuery( "select ?r where { ?r ?p ?o . }", Soprano.Query.QueryLanguageSparql );
while( it.next() ) {
displayResult( it.binding( "r" ) );
}
</pre>
</p>
