NAME
RDQL::Parser - A simple top-down LL(1) RDQL and SPARQL parser
SYNOPSIS
use RDQL::Parser;
my $parser = RDQL::Parser->new();
my $query = <<QUERY;
PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
PREFIX rss: <http://purl.org/rss/1.0/>
SELECT
?title ?link
FROM
<http://xmlhack.com/rss10.php>
WHERE
(?item, rdf:type <rss:item>)
(?item, rss:title, ?title)
(?item, rss:link ?link)
QUERY;
$parser->parse($query); #parse the query
# I.e.
$parser = bless( {

DESCRIPTION
RDQL::Parser - A simple top-down LL(1) RDQL and SPARQL parser - see http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-sparql-query/ and http://www.w3.org/Submission/2004/SUBM-RDQL-20040109/
CONSTRUCTORS
- $parser = new RDQL::Parser;
METHODS
- parse( PARSER, QUERY )
-
If use Data::Dumper(3) to actually dumpo out the content of the PARSER variable after invoching the parse() method it lokks like: $VAR1 = bless( { 'distinct' => 0, 'constructPatterns' => [], 'prefixes' => { 'fn' => 'http://www.w3.org/2004/07/xpath-functions', 'op' => 'http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/DataAccess/operations', 'owl' => 'http://www.w3.org/2002/07/owl#', 'dcq' => 'http://purl.org/dc/terms/', 'dc' => 'http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/', 'foaf' => 'http://xmlns.com/foaf/0.1/', 'rdfs' => 'http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#', 'rss' => 'http://purl.org/rss/1.0/', 'rdf' => 'http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#', 'xsd' => 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#', 'daml' => 'http://www.daml.org/2001/03/daml+oil#' }, 'graphPatterns' => [ { 'constraints' => [], 'optional' => 0, 'triplePatterns' => [ [ 0, '?item', '<http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#type>', '<rss:item>' ], [ 0, '?item', '<http://purl.org/rss/1.0/title>', '?title' ], [ 0, '?item', '<http://purl.org/rss/1.0/link>', '?link' ] ] } ], 'sources' => [ '<http://xmlhack.com/rss10.php>' ], 'describes' => [], 'queryType' => 'SELECT', 'resultVars' => [ '?title', '?link' ], }, 'RDQL::Parser' );
NOTES
The RDQL implementation is actually an extension of the original RDQL spec (http://www.w3.org/Submission/2004/SUBM-RDQL-20040109/)
to allow more SQL-like Data Manipulation Language (DML) features like DELETE and INSERT - which is much more close to the original rdfdb
query language which SquishQL/RDQL are inspired to (see http://www.guha.com/rdfdb).
As well as the SPARQL one....?

FAQ
- What's the difference between RDQL and SquishQL?
- None :-) The former is a bit of an extension of the original SquishQL proposal defining a proper BNF to the query language; the only practical difference is that triple patterns in the WHERE clause are expressed in a different order s,p,o for RDQL while SquishQL uses '(p s o)' without commas. In addition the URIs are expressed with angle brackets on RDQL while SquishQL do not. For more about differences between the two languages see http://rdfstore.sourceforge.net/documentation/papers/HPL-2002-110.pdf
- Is RDQL::Parser compliant to RDQL BNF?
- Yes
- Is RDQL::Parser compliant to SquishQL syntax ?
- Not yet :)
- What are RDQL::Parser extensions to RDQL BNF?
- RDQL::Parser leverage on RDFStore(3) to run proper free-text UTF-8 queries over literals; the two main extensions are
- * LIKE operator in AND clause
- * free-text triple matching like (?x, ?y, %"whatever"%)
