UpdateDataPropertyPipeline

What it is

  • A pipeline that updates a single RDF data property (literal value) for a given subject and predicate in a triple store.
  • It:
    • Loads the subject’s current graph from the triple store.
    • Validates that exactly one existing value exists for the predicate (otherwise fails).
    • Removes the old triple and inserts the new literal.
    • Special-cases rdfs:label by also inserting skos:altLabel.

Public API

Classes

  • UpdateDataPropertyPipelineConfiguration(PipelineConfiguration)

    • Purpose: Holds dependencies for the pipeline.
    • Fields:
      • triple_store: ITripleStoreService — triple store service used to insert/remove triples.

  • UpdateDataPropertyPipelineParameters(PipelineParameters)

    • Purpose: Input parameters for updating a property.
    • Fields:
      • subject_uri: str — subject URI (validated by URI_REGEX).
      • predicate_uri: str — predicate URI (must match ^http.+$).
      • object_new_value: str — new literal value (annotated as str).
      • language: Optional[str] — optional language tag for the literal.

  • UpdateDataPropertyPipeline(Pipeline)

    • Purpose: Executes the update and returns the updated subject graph.

Methods

  • UpdateDataPropertyPipeline.run(parameters: PipelineParameters) -> rdflib.Graph

    • Behavior:
      • Requires parameters to be UpdateDataPropertyPipelineParameters, otherwise raises ValueError.
      • Fetches the subject graph and checks existing (subject, predicate, ?o) triples.
      • If no existing value: logs an error and returns an empty Graph.
      • If multiple existing values: logs an error and returns an empty Graph.
      • If exactly one value:
        • Removes the old triple and inserts the new one.
        • If predicate is rdfs:label, also inserts (subject, skos:altLabel, new_literal).
      • Persists changes via triple_store.insert(...) and triple_store.remove(...).
      • Returns the refreshed subject graph from the store.

  • UpdateDataPropertyPipeline.as_tools() -> list[langchain_core.tools.BaseTool]

    • Purpose: Exposes the pipeline as a LangChain StructuredTool named update_data_property.

  • UpdateDataPropertyPipeline.as_api(...) -> None

    • Purpose: API exposure hook; currently a no-op (returns None and does not register routes).

Configuration/Dependencies

  • Requires an ITripleStoreService implementation in UpdateDataPropertyPipelineConfiguration.
  • Internally uses SPARQLUtils and ABIModule.get_instance().engine.services.triple_store to read subject graphs.
  • Uses rdflib types (Graph, URIRef, Literal) and vocabularies (RDFS, SKOS, XSD).

Usage

from rdflib import RDFS
from naas_abi_core.engine.Engine import Engine
from naas_abi.pipelines.UpdateDataPropertyPipeline import (
    UpdateDataPropertyPipeline,
    UpdateDataPropertyPipelineConfiguration,
    UpdateDataPropertyPipelineParameters,
)
 
engine = Engine()
engine.load(module_names=["naas_abi"])
triple_store = engine.services.triple_store
 
pipeline = UpdateDataPropertyPipeline(
    UpdateDataPropertyPipelineConfiguration(triple_store=triple_store)
)
 
graph = pipeline.run(
    UpdateDataPropertyPipelineParameters(
        subject_uri="http://ontology.naas.ai/abi/your-subject-id",
        predicate_uri=str(RDFS.label),
        object_new_value="Ford Motor Company",
        language="en",
    )
)
 
print(graph.serialize(format="turtle"))

Caveats

  • Update only succeeds when exactly one existing value is found for (subject_uri, predicate_uri, ?o).
    • If zero or multiple values exist, it returns an empty graph and logs an error.
  • object_new_value is typed as str in parameters; the runtime code contains branches for float/int, but typical validation will pass strings.
  • When updating rdfs:label, the pipeline also inserts the same literal as skos:altLabel.
