Specified by:

add in interface RepositoryConnection

Overrides:

add in class RepositoryConnectionBase

Parameters:

file - A file containing RDF data.

baseURI - The base URI to resolve any relative URIs that are in the data against. This defaults to the value of file.toURI() if the value is set to null.

dataFormat - The serialization format of the data.

contexts - The contexts to add the data to. Note that this parameter is a vararg and as such is optional. If no contexts are specified, the data is added to any context specified in the actual data file, or if the data contains no context, it is added without context. If one or more contexts are specified the data is added to these contexts, ignoring any context information in the data itself.

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error occurred while reading from the reader.

RDFParseException - If an error was found while parsing the RDF data.

RepositoryException - If the data could not be added to the repository, for example because the repository is not writable.

remove

public void remove(Iterable<? extends Statement> statements,
                   Resource... contexts)
            throws RepositoryException

Description copied from interface: RepositoryConnection

Removes the supplied statements from the specified contexts in this repository.

Specified by:

remove in interface RepositoryConnection

Overrides:

remove in class RepositoryConnectionBase

Parameters:

statements - The statements that should be added.

contexts - The context(s) to remove the data from. Note that this parameter is a vararg and as such is optional. If no contexts are supplied the method operates on the contexts associated with the statement itself, and if no context is associated with the statement, on the entire repository.

Throws:

RepositoryException - If the statements could not be added to the repository, for example because the repository is not writable.

public <E extends Exception> void remove(Iteration<? extends Statement,E> statementIter,
                                         Resource... contexts)
            throws RepositoryException,
                   E extends Exception

Description copied from interface: RepositoryConnection

Removes the supplied statements from a specific context in this repository, ignoring any context information carried by the statements themselves.

Specified by:

remove in interface RepositoryConnection

Overrides:

remove in class RepositoryConnectionBase

Parameters:

statementIter - The statements to remove. In case the iterator is a CloseableIteration, it will be closed before this method returns.

contexts - The context(s) to remove the data from. Note that this parameter is a vararg and as such is optional. If no contexts are supplied the method operates on the contexts associated with the statement itself, and if no context is associated with the statement, on the entire repository.
