Detailed Description

\class ResourceManager resourcemanager.h Nepomuk/ResourceManager

The ResourceManager is the central %Nepomuk configuration point.

Use the initialized() method to check the availabity of the %Nepomuk system. Signals nepomukSystemStarted() and nepomukSystemStopped() can be used to enable or disable Nepomuk-specific GUI elements.

Signal Documentation

error	(	QString	uri,
		int	errorCode
	)

Whenever a problem occurs (like for example failed resource syncing) this signal is emitted.

Parameters:

uri

The resource related to the error.

Parameters:

errorCode

The type of the error (Resource.ErrorCode)

Signal syntax:: QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("error(const QString&, int)"), target_slot)

nepomukSystemStarted ( )

Emitted once the Nepomuk system is up and can be used.

Warning:: This signal will not be emitted if the Nepomuk system is running when the ResourceManager is created. Use initialized() to check the status.

Since:: 4.4

Signal syntax:: QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("nepomukSystemStarted()"), target_slot)

nepomukSystemStopped ( )

Emitted once the Nepomuk system goes down.

Since:: 4.4

Signal syntax:: QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("nepomukSystemStopped()"), target_slot)

resourceModified	(	QString	uri
	)

This signal gets emitted whenever a Resource changes due to a sync procedure. Be aware that modifying resources locally via the Resource.setProperty method does not result in a resourceModified signal being emitted.

Parameters:

uri

The URI of the modified resource.

NOT IMPLEMENTED YET

Signal syntax:: QObject.connect(source, SIGNAL("resourceModified(const QString&)"), target_slot)

Method Documentation

__init__ ( self )

[Nepomuk.Resource] allResourcesOfType	(	self,
		QUrl	type
	)

Deprecated:: Use allResourcesOfType( const QString& type )

[Nepomuk.Resource] allResourcesOfType	(	self,
		QString	type
	)

Deprecated:: Use allResourcesOfType( const QString& type )

[Nepomuk.Resource] allResourcesWithProperty	(	self,
		QUrl	uri,
		Nepomuk.Variant	v
	)

Deprecated:: Use allResourcesWithProperty( const QString& type )

[Nepomuk.Resource] allResourcesWithProperty	(	self,
		QString	uri,
		Nepomuk.Variant	v
	)

Deprecated:: Use allResourcesWithProperty( const QString& type )

clearCache ( self )

%ResourceManager caches resource locally so subsequent access is faster. This method clears this cache, deleting any Resource that is not used.

Since:: 4.4

Nepomuk.Resource createResourceFromUri	(	self,
		QString	uri
	)

Deprecated:: Use the Resource constructor directly.

Creates a Resource object representing the data referenced by uri. The result is the same as from using the Resource.Resource( const QString&, const QString& ) constructor with an empty type.

Returns:: The Resource representing the data at uri or an invalid Resource object if the local NEPOMUK RDF store does not contain an object with URI uri.

deleteInstance ( self )

In KDE 4.3 support for multiple ResourceManager instances has been introduced. To keep binary compatibility both the constructor's and destructor's access visibility could not be changed. Thus, instead of deleting a custom ResourceManager instance the standard way, one has to call this method or use QObject.deleteLater.

Since:: 4.3

QString generateUniqueUri ( self )

Generates a unique URI that is not used in the store yet. This method can be used to generate URIs for virtual types such as Tag.

Parameters:

label

A label that the algorithm should use to try to create a more readable URI.

Returns:: A new unique URI which can be used to define a new resource.

Since:: 4.2

QUrl generateUniqueUri	(	self,
		QString	label
	)

Generates a unique URI that is not used in the store yet. This method can be used to generate URIs for virtual types such as Tag.

Parameters:

label

A label that the algorithm should use to try to create a more readable URI.

Returns:: A new unique URI which can be used to define a new resource.

Since:: 4.2

int init ( self )

Initialize the Nepomuk framework. This method will initialize the communication with the local Nepomuk-KDE services, ie. the data repository. It will trigger a reconnect to the %Nepomuk database.

There is normally no reason to call this method manually except when using multiple threads. In that case it is highly recommended to call this method in the main thread before doing anything else.

Returns:: 0 if all necessary components could be found and -1 otherwise.

bool initialized ( self )

Returns:: true if init() has been called successfully, ie. the KMetaData system is connected to the local RDF repository service and ready to work.

Soprano.Model mainModel ( self )

Retrieve the main data storage model.

notifyError	(	self,
		QString	uri,
		int	errorCode
	)

Internal:: Non-public API. Used by Resource to signalize errors.

removeResource	(	self,
		QString	uri
	)

Remove the resource denoted by uri completely.

This method is just a wrapper around Resource.remove. The result is the same.

setOverrideMainModel	(	self,
		Soprano.Model	model
	)

Override the main model used for all storage. By default the main model used is the Nepomuk server main model.

Parameters:

model

The model to use instead of the Nepomuk server or 0 to reset.

Since:: 4.1

Static Method Documentation

Nepomuk.ResourceManager createManagerForModel	(	Soprano.Model	model
	)

Create a new ResourceManager instance which uses model as its override model. This allows to use multiple instances of ResourceManager at the same time. Normally one does not need this method as the singleton accessed via instance() should be enough.

Parameters:

model

The model to read and write data from and to.

Since:: 4.3
