Constructor Detail

TurtleWriter

public TurtleWriter(OutputStream out)

Creates a new TurtleWriter that will write to the supplied OutputStream.

Parameters:

out - The OutputStream to write the Turtle document to.

TurtleWriter

public TurtleWriter(Writer writer)

Creates a new TurtleWriter that will write to the supplied Writer.

Parameters:

writer - The Writer to write the Turtle document to.

Method Detail

getRDFFormat

public RDFFormat getRDFFormat()

Description copied from interface: RDFWriter

Gets the RDF format that this RDFWriter uses.

Specified by:

getRDFFormat in interface RDFWriter

setBaseURI

public void setBaseURI(String baseURI)

Description copied from interface: RDFWriter

The baseURI that should be used in the output.

Specified by:

setBaseURI in interface RDFWriter

Parameters:

baseURI - The URI associated with the data.

startRDF

public void startRDF()
              throws RDFHandlerException

Description copied from interface: RDFHandler

Signals the start of the RDF data. This method is called before any data is reported.

Specified by:

startRDF in interface RDFHandler

Throws:

RDFHandlerException - If the RDF handler has encountered an unrecoverable error.

endRDF

public void endRDF()
            throws RDFHandlerException

Description copied from interface: RDFHandler

Signals the end of the RDF data. This method is called when all data has been reported.

Specified by:

endRDF in interface RDFHandler

Throws:

RDFHandlerException - If the RDF handler has encountered an unrecoverable error.

handleNamespace

public void handleNamespace(String prefix,
                            String name)
                     throws RDFHandlerException

Description copied from interface: RDFHandler

Handles a namespace declaration/definition. A namespace declaration associates a (short) prefix string with the namespace's URI. The prefix for default namespaces, which do not have an associated prefix, are represented as empty strings.

Specified by:

handleNamespace in interface RDFHandler

Parameters:

prefix - The prefix for the namespace, or an empty string in case of a default namespace.

name - The URI that the prefix maps to.

Throws:

RDFHandlerException - If the RDF handler has encountered an unrecoverable error.

handleStatement

public void handleStatement(Statement st)
                     throws RDFHandlerException

Description copied from interface: RDFHandler

Handles a statement.

Specified by:

handleStatement in interface RDFHandler

Parameters:

st - The statement.

Throws:

RDFHandlerException - If the RDF handler has encountered an unrecoverable error.

handleComment

public void handleComment(String comment)
                   throws RDFHandlerException

Description copied from interface: RDFHandler

Handles a comment.

Specified by:

handleComment in interface RDFHandler

Parameters:

comment - The comment.

Throws:

RDFHandlerException - If the RDF handler has encountered an unrecoverable error.
