RDF::Q...attern(3pm)

✨ NAME ✨

RDF::Query::Algebra::BasicGraphPattern — it's the algebra class for BasicGraphPattern patterns, bestie 💖

So like, this is a Perl manpage from User Contributed Perl Documentation, and the manual name it lives under is RDF::Q...attern(3pm) (yes the name got truncated, that's just how it is, no cap 🫶).

🌸 VERSION 🌸

This doc describes RDF::Query::Algebra::BasicGraphPattern version 2.919. Periodt.

💅 METHODS 💅

Okay so heads up before we even get into it: on top of all the methods listed below, this class also inherits methods from the RDF::Query::Algebra class. So the toolbox is bigger than this list, iykyk ✨

• new ( @triples ) — hands you back a brand new BasicGraphPattern structure. Fresh out the box 🎀
• construct_args — returns a list of arguments that, if you pass them to this class' constructor, will produce a clone of this algebra pattern. Basically the recipe to rebuild the same thing 🧚
• triples — returns a list of the triples that belong to this BGP.
• quads — returns a list of the (implicit) quads belonging to this BGP.
• sse — returns the SSE string for this algebra expression.
• explain — returns a string serialization of the algebra, appropriate for displaying on the command line.
• as_sparql — returns the SPARQL string for this algebra expression.
• as_hash — returns the query as a nested set of plain data structures. No objects invited to this party 🙈
• as_spin ( $model ) — adds statements to the given model to represent this algebra object in the SPARQL Inferencing Notation (http://www.spinrdf.org/).
• type — returns the type of this algebra expression.
• referenced_variables — returns a list of the variable names used in this algebra expression.
• potentially_bound — returns a list of the variable names used in this algebra expression that will bind values during execution.
• definite_variables — returns a list of the variable names that will be bound after evaluating this algebra expression. So like, the guaranteed ones 💜
• connected — returns true if the pattern is connected through shared variables, false otherwise.
• subsumes ( $pattern ) — returns true if the bgp subsumes the pattern, false otherwise.
• bf () — returns a string representing the state of the nodes of the triple (bound or free).
• clone
• bind_variables ( \%bound ) — returns a new algebra pattern with variables named in %bound replaced by their corresponding bound values.

not me noticing clone is just sitting there with no description 👀 it's giving mysterious. Anyway, it's in the list, so it's in the list. Slay.
