Interface RDG

All Superinterfaces:

SSWAPDocument, SSWAPModel, SSWAPProtocol

All Known Implementing Classes:

RDGImpl

public interface RDG
extends SSWAPProtocol

A Resource Description Graph (RDG) describes a SSWAP semantic web service. SSWAPProviders host one or more of these services, each described by its own RDG, each accessible to any one on the web by dereferencing the URI of the SSWAPResource. RDGs are the core of the SSWAP architecture.

For more on the protocol, see SSWAP Protocol.

Method Summary

RIG	getRIG() Gets the RIG that can be used to invoke the service described in this RDG (after setting the values for the properties).
RIG	getRIG(java.io.InputStream is) Creates a RIG object based on the serialized RIG (e.g., sent by a client of a service).

Method Detail

getRIG

RIG getRIG()
           throws DataAccessException

Gets the RIG that can be used to invoke the service described in this RDG (after setting the values for the properties).

Returns:

the RIG created based on this RDG

Throws:

DataAccessException - if an error should occur while accessing the data in the RDG to create the RIG

getRIG

RIG getRIG(java.io.InputStream is)
           throws ValidationException,
                  DataAccessException

Creates a RIG object based on the serialized RIG (e.g., sent by a client of a service). The RIG should be an invocation of the service described in this RDG, and this method validates that this is the case.

Parameters:

is - the input stream to read the RIG

Returns:

the created RIG

Throws:

ValidationException - if the submitted data is not a valid RIG for this service.

DataAccessException - if an error should occur while reading the data (either an I/O error or problem parsing the data)
