(Not currently used.)

network_owner

Owner of the RDF network. (See Table: network_owner and network_name Parameters.)

network_name

Usage Notes

This procedure creates a user-defined rulebase. After creating the rulebase, you can add rules to it. To cause the rules in the rulebase to be applied in a query of RDF data, you can specify the rulebase in the call to the SEM_MATCH table function.

Rules and rulebases are explained in Inferencing: Rules and Rulebases. The SEM_MATCH table function is described in Using the SEM_MATCH Table Function to Query Semantic Data,

For information about RDF network types and options, see RDF Networks.

Examples

The following example creates a rulebase named family_rb. (It is an excerpt from Example: Using an RDF graph for Family Information in Example: Family Information.)

EXECUTE SEM_APIS.CREATE_RULEBASE('family_rb');
