Excerpt
This page provides detailed steps for creating repository content via the REST API, and SPARQL queries to demonstrate that content in the triplestorehas been synchronized to an external triplestore. For more details on setting up triplestore sync, see External Triplestore. Much more information about the REST API is available at: RESTful HTTP API and Another Take on the REST API .

1. Finding

Containers by

...

Binary Name or MIME Type

Create a few sample objects containers with either a PDF or a text file, or both attached as datastreams binaries (these the following commands assume you have two files named test.pdf and test.txt in your current working directory, ; please substitute working filenames as needed):

Code Block

title	File: objectcontainer-indexing.rdf

PREFIX dc: <http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/>
PREFIX rdf: <http://www.w3.org/1999/02/22-rdf-syntax-ns#>
PREFIX indexing: <http://fedora.info/definitions/v4/indexing#>
DELETE { }
INSERT { 
  <> indexing:hasIndexingTransformation "default";
  rdf:type indexing:indexable }
WHERE { }

Find objects containers directly or indirectly attached (recursive retrieval along the rels:hasPart chain). Applications developed using Fedora 3 may use Mulgara's walk() function for queries that navigate a hierarchy. That functionality is now part of standard SPARQL 1.1 (Jena's property paths documentation provides some good examples).
