Methods

CombineHashCodes(Object, Object)

Does a quick and simple combination of the Hash Codes of two Objects.

CopyNode(INode, IGraph)

Copies a Node so it can be used in another Graph since by default Triples cannot contain Nodes from more than one Graph.

Declaration

public static INode CopyNode(INode original, IGraph target)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
INode	original	Node to Copy.
IGraph	target	Graph to Copy into.

Returns

Type	Description
INode

Remarks

Warning: Copying Blank Nodes may lead to unforseen circumstances since no remapping of IDs between Graphs is done.

CopyNode(INode, IGraph, Boolean)

Copies a Node so it can be used in another Graph since by default Triples cannot contain Nodes from more than one Graph.

Declaration

public static INode CopyNode(INode original, IGraph target, bool keepOriginalGraphUri)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
INode	original	Node to Copy.
IGraph	target	Graph to Copy into.
System.Boolean	keepOriginalGraphUri	Indicates whether the Copy should preserve the Graph Uri of the Node being copied.

Returns

Type	Description
INode

CopyNode(INode, INodeFactory)

Copies a Node using another Node Factory.

Declaration

public static INode CopyNode(INode original, INodeFactory target)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
INode	original	Node to copy.
INodeFactory	target	Factory to copy into.

Returns

Type	Description
INode

Remarks

Warning: Copying Blank Nodes may lead to unforseen circumstances since no remapping of IDs between Factories is done.

CopyTriple(Triple, IGraph)

Copies a Triple from one Graph to another.

Declaration

public static Triple CopyTriple(Triple t, IGraph target, bool keepOriginalGraphUri)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Triple	t	Triple to copy.
IGraph	target	Graph to copy to.
