public interface RDFEngine extends HasRDFLinkSource, AutoCloseable
An RDFEngine represents a running database systems. It features an RDFLinkSource to build connections and a AutoCloseable.close() method to shut the system down. Optionally, an engine may support getServiceControl() which can be used to start and stop it. The link builder can be cast to specific subclasses in order to configure it. For example, an RDFLinkBuilder that can be cast to an RDFLinkBuilderHTTP supports configuring the content types for each SPARQL query form. RDFDataSource is the abstraction for a factory of readily configured links. Multiple RDF data sources can be created over the same data engine, for example one that retrieves SELECT queries using application/sparql-results-xml and another that uses application/sparql-results+json. RDF data sources can be decorated with various (client-side) transformations, such as macro expansion, result set limit injection, paginated execution and so on. RDFEngineDecorator.
