Overview

A TriG serialiser

Note that the natural interface is to write a whole repository at a time. Writing statements or Triples will create a repository to add them to and then serialize the repository.

The writer will add prefix definitions, and use them for creating @prefix definitions, and minting QNames

Examples:

Obtaining a TriG writer class

RDF::Writer.for(:trig)         #=> RDF::TriG::Writer
RDF::Writer.for("etc/test.trig")
RDF::Writer.for(:file_name      => "etc/test.trig")
RDF::Writer.for(file_extension: "trig")
RDF::Writer.for(:content_type   => "application/trig")

Serializing RDF repo into an TriG file

RDF::TriG::Writer.open("etc/test.trig") do |writer|
  writer << repo
end

Serializing RDF statements into an TriG file

RDF::TriG::Writer.open("etc/test.trig") do |writer|
  repo.each_statement do |statement|
    writer << statement
  end
end

Serializing RDF statements into an TriG string

RDF::TriG::Writer.buffer do |writer|
  repo.each_statement do |statement|
    writer << statement
  end
end

Serializing RDF statements to a string in streaming mode

RDF::TriG::Writer.buffer(stream: true) do |writer|
  repo.each_statement do |statement|
    writer << statement
  end
end

Creating @base and @prefix definitions in output

RDF::TriG::Writer.buffer(base_uri: "http://example.com/", prefixes: {
    nil => "http://example.com/ns#",
    foaf: "http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/"}
) do |writer|
  repo.each_statement do |statement|
    writer << statement
  end
end

#stream_epilogue, #stream_statement

Constructor Details

#initialize(output = $stdout, **options) {|writer| ... } ⇒ Writer

Initializes the TriG writer instance.

Parameters:

  • output (IO, File) (defaults to: $stdout)

    the output stream

  • options (Hash{Symbol => Object})

    any additional options

Options Hash (**options):

  • :encoding (Encoding) — default: Encoding::UTF_8

    the encoding to use on the output stream (Ruby 1.9+)

  • :canonicalize (Boolean) — default: false

    whether to canonicalize literals when serializing

  • :prefixes (Hash) — default: Hash.new

    the prefix mappings to use (not supported by all writers)

  • :base_uri (#to_s) — default: nil

    the base URI to use when constructing relative URIs

  • :max_depth (Integer) — default: 3

    Maximum depth for recursively defining resources, defaults to 3

  • :standard_prefixes (Boolean) — default: false

    Add standard prefixes to @prefixes, if necessary.

  • :stream (Boolean) — default: false

    Do not attempt to optimize graph presentation, suitable for streaming large repositories.

  • :default_namespace (String) — default: nil

    URI to use as default namespace, same as ‘prefixes`

Yields:

  • (writer)

    ‘self`

  • (writer)

Yield Parameters:

  • writer (RDF::Writer)
  • writer (RDF::Writer)

Yield Returns:

  • (void)
