man RDF::Closure::Engine (3): an engine for inferring triples

DESCRIPTION

Constructor

"new($regime, $model, @arguments)"
Instantiates an inference engine. This:
```
  RDF::Closure::Engine->new('RDFS', $model, @args);
```
is just a shortcut for:
```
  RDF::Closure::Engine::RDFS->new($model, @args);
```
Though in the former, 'RDFS' is treated case-insensitively.
$model must be an RDF::Trine::Model which the engine will read its input from and write its output to.

Methods

"entailment_regime"
Returns a URI string identifying the type of inference implemented by the engine, or undef.
"graph"
Returns the RDF::Trine::Model the engine is operating on.
"closure( [ $is_subsequent ] )"
Adds any new triples to the graph that can be inferred.
If $is_subsequent is true, then skips axioms.
"errors"
Returns a list of consistency violations found so far.
"reset"
Removes all inferred triples from the graph.

Class Method

"engines"
Return a list of engines installed, e.g. 'RDF::Closure::Engine::RDFS'.
