Swish.QName

This module defines an algebraic datatype for qualified names (QNames), which represents a URI as the combination of a namespace URI and a local component (LName), which can be empty.

Although RDF supports using IRIs, the use of URI here precludes this, which means that, for instance, LName only accepts a subset of valid characters. There is currently no attempt to convert from an IRI into a URI.

Documentation

data QName

A qualified name, consisting of a namespace URI and the local part of the identifier, which can be empty. The serialisation of a QName is formed by concatanating the two components.

Instances

Eq QName

Equality is determined by a case sensitive comparison of the URI.

Defined in Swish.QName

Methods

(==) :: QName -> QName -> Bool

(/=) :: QName -> QName -> Bool

Ord QName

In 0.8.0.0 the ordering now uses the ordering defined in Network.URI.Ord rather than the Show instance. This should make no difference unless a password was included in the URI when using basic access authorization.

Defined in Swish.QName

Methods

compare :: QName -> QName -> Ordering

(<) :: QName -> QName -> Bool

(<=) :: QName -> QName -> Bool

(>) :: QName -> QName -> Bool

(>=) :: QName -> QName -> Bool

max :: QName -> QName -> QName

min :: QName -> QName -> QName

Show QName

The format used to display the URI is <uri>, and does not include the password if using basic access authorization.

Defined in Swish.QName

Methods

showsPrec :: Int -> QName -> ShowS

show :: QName -> String

showList :: [QName] -> ShowS

IsString QName

This is not total since it will fail if the input string is not a valid URI.

Defined in Swish.QName

Methods

fromString :: String -> QName

FromRDFLabel QName

Converts from a Resource.

Defined in Swish.RDF.Graph

Methods

fromRDFLabel :: RDFLabel -> Maybe QName

ToRDFLabel QName

Converts to a Resource.

Defined in Swish.RDF.Graph

Methods

toRDFLabel :: QName -> RDFLabel

data LName

A local name, which can be empty.

At present, the local name can not contain a space character and can only contain ascii characters (those that match isAscii).

In version 0.9.0.3 and earlier, the following characters were not allowed in local names: '#', ':', or '/' characters.

This is all rather experimental.

Instances

Eq LName

Defined in Swish.QName

Methods

(==) :: LName -> LName -> Bool

(/=) :: LName -> LName -> Bool

Ord LName

Defined in Swish.QName

Methods

compare :: LName -> LName -> Ordering

(<) :: LName -> LName -> Bool

(<=) :: LName -> LName -> Bool

(>) :: LName -> LName -> Bool

(>=) :: LName -> LName -> Bool

max :: LName -> LName -> LName

min :: LName -> LName -> LName

Show LName

Defined in Swish.QName

Methods

showsPrec :: Int -> LName -> ShowS

show :: LName -> String

showList :: [LName] -> ShowS

IsString LName

This is not total since attempting to convert a string containing invalid characters will cause an error.

Defined in Swish.QName

Methods

fromString :: String -> LName

emptyLName :: LName

The empty local name.

newLName :: Text -> Maybe LName

Create a local name.

getLName :: LName -> Text

Extract the local name.

newQName

Arguments

:: URI

Namespace

-> LName

Local component

-> QName

Create a new qualified name with an explicit local component.

qnameFromURI

Arguments

:: URI

The URI will be deconstructed to find if it contains a local component.

-> Maybe QName

The failure case may be removed.

Create a new qualified name.

getNamespace :: QName -> URI

Return the URI of the namespace stored in the QName. This does not contain the local component.

getLocalName :: QName -> LName

Return the local component of the QName.

getQNameURI :: QName -> URI

Returns the full URI of the QName (ie the combination of the namespace and local components).

qnameFromFilePath :: FilePath -> IO QName

Convert a filepath to a file: URI stored in a QName. If the input file path is relative then the current working directory is used to convert it into an absolute path.

If the input represents a directory then it *must* end in the directory separator - so for Posix systems use "/foo/bar/" rather than "/foo/bar".

This has not been tested on Windows.
