org.apache.jena.reasoner.rulesys.builtins.BaseBuiltin

org.apache.jena.reasoner.rulesys.builtins.MakeInstance

All Implemented Interfaces:

Builtin

public class MakeInstance
extends BaseBuiltin

Create or lookup an anonymous instance of a property value. Syntax of the call is:

    makeInstance(X, P, D, T) or makeInstance(X, P, T)
 

where X is the instance and P the property for which a temporary value is required, T will be bound to the temp value (a bNode) and D is an optional type cor the T value.

Method Details

getName

public String getName()

Return a name for this builtin, normally this will be the name of the functor that will be used to invoke it.

bodyCall

public boolean bodyCall(Node[] args,
 int length,
 RuleContext context)

This method is invoked when the builtin is called in a rule body.

Specified by:

bodyCall in interface Builtin

Overrides:

bodyCall in class BaseBuiltin

Parameters:

args - the array of argument values for the builtin, this is an array of Nodes, some of which may be Node_RuleVariables.

length - the length of the argument list, may be less than the length of the args array for some rule engines

context - an execution context giving access to other relevant data

Returns:

return true if the buildin predicate is deemed to have succeeded in the current environment
