SPARQLPropertyPath[start, {p1,p2,…}, end]
is a pattern object that represents a path in a RDF graph that starts at subject start, visits edges with predicates pi and ends at object end.
SPARQLPropertyPath
SPARQLPropertyPath[start, {p1,p2,…}, end]
is a pattern object that represents a path in a RDF graph that starts at subject start, visits edges with predicates pi and ends at object end.
Details and Options
- Each pi can be a predicate URL or a pattern.
- The arguments start and end can be a URL or a SPARQLVariable and end can also be a literal like a number or string.
- SPARQLPropertyPath[start,{p1,p2,…},end] matches a path {RDFTriple [a,f1,b],RDFTriple [b,f2,c],…,RDFTriple [y,f2,z]} if MatchQ [{f1,f2,…},{p1,p2,…}] returns True and start is either a SPARQLVariable or a and end is either a SPARQLVariable or z.
- The pi can be any combination of the following forms:
-
Except […] a negated property set (only for predicates, inverse predicates and alternatives thereof)
