      • getArtifactInfo

        Collection<Artifact> getArtifactInfo()

      • getArtifact

        Artifact getArtifact​(org.eclipse.rdf4j.model.IRI artifactIri)
        Obtains an artifact from the repository.
        Parameters:
        artifactIri - the artifact IRI
        Returns:
        the artifact or null when there is no such artifact available
      • addArtifact

        void addArtifact​(Artifact artifact)
        Adds an artifact to the repository. If the artifact IRI is null a new IRI is generated using createArtifactIri(Artifact).

      • createArtifactIri

        org.eclipse.rdf4j.model.IRI createArtifactIri​(Artifact artifact)
