Summary

This function returns parsed sem:triple objects from a text format or XML.

Parameters
in The source to parse. This must either be a string or a node.
options Parsing options. Only one each of the base, graph, override-graph, and format (ntriple, nquad, turtle, rdfxml, rdfjson, triplexml) options is allowed. Valid options include: 
base=URI
A base URI to use during parsing. 
graph=URI
The graph/context value to give to quads with no explicit graph specified in the data. Cannot be used with override-graph=URI (or an exception is thrown). 
override-graph=URI
The graph/context value to give to every quad, whether specified in the data or not. Cannot be used with graph=URI (or an exception is thrown). 
ntriple
Specify N-Triples format for input. 
nquad
Specify N-Quads format for input (default if the $in paramater is a string). 
turtle
Specify Turtle format for input. 
rdfxml
Specify RDF/XML format for input (default if the $in parameter is an element). 
n3
Specify N3 format for input. 
trig
Specify TriG format for input. 
rdfjson
Specify RDF/JSON format for input. 
triplexml
Specify sem:triple XML format for input, either a single sem:triple element or multiple elements under a root element. If you use the triplexml option, you cannot specify a graph. 
repair
Specify to repair if possible, or discard individual triples that do not parse correctly. Otherwise any malformed input results in an exception.
