## Method Documentation

__init__ | ( |  | self ) |

\cond protected_term_members

__init__ | ( | self, |
|  | Nepomuk.Query.Term | other
| ) |  |  |

Copy constructor.

bool isAndTerm | ( |  | self ) |

Returns:
  true if this term is an AndTerm.

bool isComparisonTerm | ( |  | self ) |

Returns:
  true if this term is a ComparisonTerm.

bool isLiteralTerm | ( |  | self ) |

Returns:
  true if this term is a LiteralTerm.

bool isNegationTerm | ( |  | self ) |

Returns:
  true if this term is a NegationTerm.

bool isOptionalTerm | ( |  | self ) |

Returns:
  true if this term is a OptionalTerm.

Since:
  4.5

bool isOrTerm | ( |  | self ) |

Returns:
  true if this term is an OrTerm.

bool isResourceTerm | ( |  | self ) |

Returns:
  true if this term is a ResourceTerm.

bool isResourceTypeTerm | ( |  | self ) |

Returns:
  true if this term is a ResourceTypeTerm.

bool isValid | ( |  | self ) |

Returns:
  true if the term is valid. A valid term can be used to construct a Query.

bool operator == | ( | self, |
|  | Nepomuk.Query.Term | term
| ) |  |  |

Comparison operator.

Returns:
  true if this term is equal to term.

Nepomuk.Query.AndTerm toAndTerm | ( |  | self ) |

Convert this term into a AndTerm. If type is not And it will be changed and the result is a new AndTerm.

Returns:
  A reference to this term as a AndTerm.

Nepomuk.Query.ComparisonTerm toComparisonTerm | ( |  | self ) |

Convert this term into a ComparisonTerm. If type is not Comparison it will be changed and the result is a new ComparisonTerm.

Returns:
  A reference to this term as a ComparisonTerm.

Nepomuk.Query.LiteralTerm toLiteralTerm | ( |  | self ) |

Convert this term into a LiteralTerm. If type is not Literal it will be changed and the result is a new LiteralTerm.

Returns:
  A reference to this term as a LiteralTerm.

Nepomuk.Query.NegationTerm toNegationTerm | ( |  | self ) |

Convert this term into a NegationTerm. If type is not Negation it will be changed and the result is a new NegationTerm.

Returns:
  A reference to this term as a NegationTerm.

Nepomuk.Query.OptionalTerm toOptionalTerm | ( |  | self ) |

Convert this term into a OptionalTerm. If type is not Optional it will be changed and the result is a new OptionalTerm.

Returns:
  A reference to this term as a OptionalTerm.

Since:
  4.5

Nepomuk.Query.OrTerm toOrTerm | ( |  | self ) |

Convert this term into a OrTerm. If type is not Or it will be changed and the result is a new OrTerm.

Returns:
  A reference to this term as a OrTerm.

Nepomuk.Query.ResourceTerm toResourceTerm | ( |  | self ) |

Convert this term into a ResourceTerm. If type is not Resource it will be changed and the result is a new ResourceTerm.

Returns:
  A reference to this term as a ResourceTerm.

Nepomuk.Query.ResourceTypeTerm toResourceTypeTerm | ( |  | self ) |

Convert this term into a ResourceTypeTerm. If type is not ClassType it will be changed and the result is a new ResourceTypeTerm.

Returns:
  A reference to this term as a ResourceTypeTerm.

QString toString | ( |  | self ) |

Encode the Term in a string. Be aware that this does NOT create a SPARQL query. The returned string can be used to serialize terms that can later be read via fromString().

\sa fromString()

Since:
  4.5

Nepomuk.Query.Term.Type type | ( |  | self ) |

Returns:
  the Term type.

## Static Method Documentation

Nepomuk.Query.Term fromString | ( | QString | s
| ) |  |  |

Parse a Term that has been encoded as a string via toString().

Warning:
  This method can NOT parse SPARQL syntax.
