Method Detail

getEffectiveBooleanValue

public static boolean getEffectiveBooleanValue(Value value)
                                        throws ValueExprEvaluationException

Determines the effective boolean value (EBV) of the supplied value as defined in the SPARQL specification:

• The EBV of any literal whose type is xsd:boolean or numeric is false if the lexical form is not valid for that datatype (e.g. "abc"^^xsd:integer).
• If the argument is a typed literal with a datatype of xsd:boolean, the EBV is the value of that argument.
• If the argument is a plain literal or a typed literal with a datatype of xsd:string, the EBV is false if the operand value has zero length; otherwise the EBV is true.
• If the argument is a numeric type or a typed literal with a datatype derived from a numeric type, the EBV is false if the operand value is NaN or is numerically equal to zero; otherwise the EBV is true.
• All other arguments, including unbound arguments, produce a type error.

Parameters:

value - Some value.

Returns:

The EBV of value.

Throws:

ValueExprEvaluationException - In case the application of the EBV algorithm results in a type error.

compare

public static boolean compare(Value leftVal,
                              Value rightVal,
                              Compare.CompareOp operator)
                       throws ValueExprEvaluationException

Throws:

ValueExprEvaluationException

compareLiterals

public static boolean compareLiterals(Literal leftLit,
                                      Literal rightLit,
                                      Compare.CompareOp operator)
                               throws ValueExprEvaluationException

Throws:

ValueExprEvaluationException

isPlainLiteral

public static boolean isPlainLiteral(Value v)

Checks whether the supplied value is a "plain literal". A "plain literal" is a literal with no datatype and optionally a language tag.

isSimpleLiteral

public static boolean isSimpleLiteral(Value v)

Checks whether the supplied value is a "simple literal". A "simple literal" is a literal with no language tag nor datatype.

isSimpleLiteral

public static boolean isSimpleLiteral(Literal l)

Checks whether the supplied literal is a "simple literal". A "simple literal" is a literal with no language tag nor datatype.

isStringLiteral

public static boolean isStringLiteral(Value v)

Checks whether the supplied literal is a "string literal". A "string literal" is either a simple literal, a plain literal with language tag, or a literal with datatype xsd:string.

isStringLiteral

public static boolean isStringLiteral(Literal l)

Checks whether the supplied literal is a "string literal". A "string literal" is either a simple literal, a plain literal with language tag, or a literal with datatype xsd:string.
