Comunica Contextify Version Query Operation Actor

A Query Operation actor that detects graph-based version operations and rewrites them to operations with a version context.

This module is part of the Comunica framework, and should only be used by developers that want to build their own query engine.

Install

$ yarn add @comunica/actor-query-operation-contextify-version

Configure

After installing, this package can be added to your engine's configuration as follows:

{
  "@context": [
    ...
    "https://linkedsoftwaredependencies.org/bundles/npm/@comunica/actor-query-operation-contextify-version/^1.0.0/components/context.jsonld"  
  ],
  "actors": [
    ...
    {
      "@id": "config-sets:contextify-version.json#myContextifyVersionQueryOperator",
      "@type": "ActorQueryOperationContextifyVersion",
      "cbqo:mediatorQueryOperation": { "@id": "config-sets:sparql-queryoperators.json#mediatorQueryOperation" },
      "caqocv:Actor/QueryOperation/ContextifyVersion/baseGraphUri": "http://graph.version.",
      "caqocv:Actor/QueryOperation/ContextifyVersion/numericalVersions": true
    }
  ]
}

Config Parameters

• caqocv:Actor/QueryOperation/ContextifyVersion/baseGraphUri: The base URI of the graph to contextify. If this is not provided, then graphs will be converted to version identifiers as-is.
• caqocv:Actor/QueryOperation/ContextifyVersion/numericalVersions: If versions should be parsed as integers.

Examples

Assuming a base graph URI http://ex/g/.

Version Materialization

Input query:

SELECT * WHERE {
  GRAPH <http://ex/g/1> {
    ?s ?p ?o
  }
}

Output context:

{
  "version": {
    "type": "version-materialization",
    "version": 1
  }
}

Output query:

SELECT * WHERE {
  ?s ?p ?o
}

Delta Materialization

Input query:

SELECT * WHERE {
  GRAPH <http://ex/g/4> {
    ?s ?p ?o
  } .
  FILTER (NOT EXISTS {
    GRAPH <http://ex/g/2> {
      ?s ?p ?o
    }
  }) 
}

Output context:

{
  "version": {
    "queryAdditions": true,
    "type": "delta-materialization",
    "versionEnd": 4,
    "versionStart": 2
  }
}

Output query:

SELECT * WHERE {
  ?s ?p ?o
}

Note: Flipping the versions would make this a deletions query instead of an additions query, i.e., queryAdditions would be set to false.
