NodeFactory(Uri, INamespaceMapper, bool, IUriFactory)

Creates a new Node Factory.

Declaration

[Obsolete("Replaced by NodeFactory(NodeFactoryOptions, INamespaceMapper, IUriFactory)")]
public NodeFactory(Uri baseUri = null, INamespaceMapper namespaceMap = null, bool normalizeLiteralValues = false, IUriFactory uriFactory = null)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
Uri	baseUri	The initial base URI to use for the resolution of relative URI references. Defaults to null.
INamespaceMapper	namespaceMap	The namespace map to use for the resolution of QNames. If not specified, a default NamespaceMapper instance will be created.
bool	normalizeLiteralValues	Whether or not to normalize the value strings of literal nodes.
IUriFactory	uriFactory	The factory to use to create URIs. Defaults to the root UriFactory instance.

NodeFactory(NodeFactoryOptions, INamespaceMapper, IUriFactory)

Creates a new Node Factory.

Declaration

public NodeFactory(NodeFactoryOptions options, INamespaceMapper namespaceMap = null, IUriFactory uriFactory = null)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
NodeFactoryOptions	options	Configuration options for this node factory.
INamespaceMapper	namespaceMap	The namespace map to use for the resolution of QNames. If not specified, a default NamespaceMapper instance will be created.
IUriFactory	uriFactory	The factory to use to create URIs. Defaults to the root UriFactory instance.

Properties

BaseUri

Get or set the base URI used to resolve relative URI references.

Declaration

public Uri BaseUri { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
Uri

Remarks

If BaseUri is null, attempting to invoke CreateUriNode(Uri) with a relative URI or CreateUriNode(string) with a QName that resolves to a relative URI will result in a RdfException being raised.

LanguageTagValidation

Get or set the type of validation to apply to language tags when creating language-tagged literal nodes.

Declaration

public LanguageTagValidationMode LanguageTagValidation { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
LanguageTagValidationMode

ValidateLanguageSpecifiers

Get or set the flag that controls whether or not language tags are validated when creating language-tagged literal nodes.

Declaration

[Obsolete("Use LanguageTagValidation to set the validation mode.")]
public bool ValidateLanguageSpecifiers { get; set; }

Property Value

Type	Description
bool

Remarks

This property is now deprecated and replaced by LanguageTagValidation. Setting this property to 'true' will set LanguageTagValidation to Turtle. Setting this property to 'false' will set LanguageTagValidation to None.
