| <p>Transactions are the preferred way to work with RDF data. |
| Operations on an <code>RDFConnection</code> outside of an application-controlled |
| transaction will cause the system to add one for the duration of the |
| operation. This “autocommit” feature may lead to inefficient operations due |
| to excessive overhead.</p> |
| <p>The <code>Txn</code> class provides a Java8-style transaction API. Transactions are |
| code passed in the <code>Txn</code> library that handles the transaction lifecycle.</p> |

| <h2 id="graph-store-protocol">Graph Store Protocol</h2> |
| <p>The <a href="https://www.w3.org/TR/sparql11-http-rdf-update/">SPARQL Graph Store Protocol</a> |
| (GSP) is a set of operations to work on whole graphs in a |
| dataset. It provides a standardised way to manage the data in a dataset.</p> |
| <p>The operations are to fetch a graph, set the RDF data in a graph, |
| add more RDF data into a graph, and delete a graph from a dataset.</p> |
| <p>For example: load two files:</p> |
| <div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="background-color:#f8f8f8;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-java" data-lang="java"><span style="display:flex;"><span><span style="color:#a2f;font-weight:bold">try</span> <span style="color:#666">(</span> RDFConnection conn <span style="color:#666">=</span> RDFConnection<span style="color:#666">.</span><span style="color:#b44">connect</span><span style="color:#666">(...)</span> <span style="color:#666">)</span> <span style="color:#666">{</span> |

| </span></span><span style="display:flex;"><span><span style="color:#666">}</span> |
| </span></span></code></pre></div><p>The file extension is used to determine the syntax.</p> |
| <p>There is also a set of scripts to help do these operations from the command |
| line with <a href="/documentation/fuseki2/soh.html">SOH</a>. |
| It is possible to write curl scripts as well. The SPARQL Graph |
| Store Protocol provides a standardised way to manage the data in a dataset.</p> |
| <p>In addition, <code>RDFConnection</code> provides an extension to give the same style |
| of operation to work on a whole dataset (deleting the dataset is not |
| provided).</p> |
| <div class="highlight"><pre tabindex="0" style="background-color:#f8f8f8;-moz-tab-size:4;-o-tab-size:4;tab-size:4;"><code class="language-java" data-lang="java"><span style="display:flex;"><span>conn<span style="color:#666">.</span><span style="color:#b44">loadDataset</span><span style="color:#666">(</span><span style="color:#b44">"data-complete.trig"</span><span style="color:#666">)</span> <span style="color:#666">;</span> |
| </span></span></code></pre></div><h3 id="local-vs-remote">Local vs Remote</h3> |
| <p>GSP operations work on whole models and datasets. When used on a remote connection, |
| the result of a GSP operation is a separate copy of the remote RDF data. When working |
| with local connections, 3 isolation modes are available:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Copy – the models and datasets returned are independent copies. |
| Updates are made to the return copy only. This is most like |
| a remote connection and is useful for testing.</li> |
| <li>Read-only – the models and datasets are made read-only but any changes |
| to the underlying RDF data by changes by another route will be visible. |
| This provides a form of checking for large datasets when “copy” is impractical.</li> |
| <li>None – the models and datasets are passed back with no additional wrappers, |
| and they can be updated with the changes being made the underlying dataset.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>The default for a local <code>RDFConnection</code> is “none”. When used with TDB, |
| accessing returned models must be done with <a href="../txn">transactions</a> |
| in this mode.</p> |
| <h2 id="query-usage">Query Usage</h2> |
| <p><code>RDFConnection</code> provides methods for each of the SPARQL query forms (<code>SELECT</code>, |
| <code>CONSTRUCT</code>, <code>DESCRIBE</code>, <code>ASK</code>) as well as a way to get the |
| <code>QueryExecution</code> for specialized configuration. When creating an |
| <code>QueryExecution</code> explicitly, care should be taken to close it.</p> |
| <p>If the application wishes to capture the result set from a SELECT query and |
| retain it across the lifetime of the transaction or <code>QueryExecution</code>, then |
| the application should create a copy which is not attached to any external system |
| with <code>ResultSetFactory.copyResults</code>.</p> |

| <p>In addition to the SPARQL Graph Store Protocol, operations on whole |

| <h2 id="subinterfaces">Subinterfaces</h2> |
| <p>To help structure code, the <code>RDFConnection</code> consists of a number of |

| as one of these interfaces so that only certain subsets of the full |
| operations are visible to the called code.</p> |

| <li>query via <code>SparqlQueryConnection</code></li> |
