Overview

A Uniform Resource Identifier (URI).

RDF::URI supports all the instance methods of Addressable::URI.

Examples:

Creating a URI reference (1)

uri = RDF::URI.new("http://rdf.rubyforge.org/")

Creating a URI reference (2)

uri = RDF::URI.new(:scheme => 'http', :host => 'rdf.rubyforge.org', :path => '/')

Creating an interned URI reference

uri = RDF::URI.intern("http://rdf.rubyforge.org/")

Getting the string representation of a URI

uri.to_s #=> "http://rdf.rubyforge.org/"

Constant Summary

CACHE_SIZE =

Defines the maximum number of interned URI references that can be held cached in memory at any one time.

Parameters:

  • (Symbol, String, #to_s) symbol
  • (Array<Object>) args

Yields:

Returns:

Class Method Details

+ (RDF::URI) intern(str)

Returns an interned RDF::URI instance based on the given uri string.

The maximum number of cached interned URI references is given by the CACHE_SIZE constant. This value is unlimited by default, in which case an interned URI object will be purged only when the last strong reference to it is garbage collected (i.e., when its finalizer runs).

Excepting special memory-limited circumstances, it should always be safe and preferred to construct new URI references using RDF::URI.intern instead of RDF::URI.new, since if an interned object can't be returned for some reason, this method will fall back to returning a freshly-allocated one.

Parameters:

  • (String, #to_s) str

Returns:

  • (RDF::URI) —

    an immutable, frozen URI object

# File 'lib/rdf/model/uri.rb', line 56

def self.intern(str)
  (cache[str = str.to_s] ||= self.new(str)).freeze
end

+ (RDF::URI) parse(str)

Creates a new RDF::URI instance based on the given uri string.

This is just an alias for RDF::URI.new for compatibity with Addressable::URI.parse.

Parameters:

  • (String, #to_s) str

Returns:

Instance Method Details

- (RDF::URI) +(other)

Simple concatenation operator. Returns a URI formed from concatenating the string form of two elements.

For building URIs from fragments, you may want to use the smart separator, #/. #join implements another set of URI building semantics.

Examples:

Concatenating a string to a URI

RDF::URI.new('http://example.org/test') + 'test'
#=> RDF::URI('http://example.org/testtest')

Concatenating two URIs

RDF::URI.new('http://example.org/test') + RDF::URI.new('test')
#=> RDF::URI('http://example.org/testtest')

Parameters:

  • (Any)

Returns:

def +(other)

end

- (RDF::URI) /(fragment)

'Smart separator' URI builder

This method attempts to use some understanding of the most common use cases for URLs and URNs to create a simple method for building new URIs from fragments. This means that it will always insert a separator of some sort, will remove duplicate seperators, will always assume that a fragment argument represents a relative and not absolute path, and throws an exception when an absolute URI is received for a fragment argument.

This is separate from the semantics for #join, which are well-defined by RFC3986 section 5.2 as part of the merging and normalization process; this method does not perform any normalization, removal of spurious paths, or removal of parent directory references (/../).

See also #+, which concatenates the string forms of two URIs without any sort of checking or processing.

For an up-to-date list of edge case behavior, see the shared examples for RDF::URI in the rdf-spec project.

Examples:

Building a HTTP URL

RDF::URI.new('http://example.org') / 'jhacker' / 'foaf.ttl'
#=> RDF::URI('http://example.org/jhacker/foaf.ttl')

Building a HTTP URL

RDF::URI.new('http://example.org/') / '/jhacker/' / '/foaf.ttl'
#=> RDF::URI('http://example.org/jhacker/foaf.ttl')

Using an anchored base URI

RDF::URI.new('http://example.org/users#') / 'jhacker'
#=> RDF::URI('http://example.org/users#jhacker')

Building a URN

RDF::URI.new('urn:isbn') / 125235111
#=> RDF::URI('urn:isbn:125235111')

Parameters:

  • (Any) fragment —

    A URI fragment to be appended to this URI

Returns:

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)
