Re: [dotNetRDF-Develop] Serialization in dotNetRDF

Hi Rodrigo

I've started adding some basic support into the core library for .Net serialization (ISerializable and IXmlSerializable implementations), the implementations are not complete nor fully tested yet.  It is intended to provide serialization for INode implementations, Triples, some IGraph implementations (complex implementations like GraphPersistenceWrapper won't be serializable), SparqlResult and SparqlResultSet.

While this is not in a state that I'd recommend for you to test yet does this address your needs in this area?

Regards,

Rob Vesse

Hi Rob, We work a lot with serialization and we had to change dotNetRdf core classes to achieve this (putting Serializable and DataMember attributes).I think a nice and generic solution would be SparqlResultSet and SparqlResult being interfaces and when I create the Query I indicate to use my custom implementation of those interfaces. When I don´t indicate any custom implementation, the current behavior will apply. Regards,  Rodrigo Reis | Product Owner - Research Team

Assunto: RE: [dotNetRDF-Develop] RES: SparqlResultSet and SparqlResult Hi Rodrigo Ok, so as I see it there are a few options here. Option 1 - Convert to DataTable or some other serializable structure yourself e.g. create your own static method to do the conversion into something you can effectively serialize Option 2 - dotNetRDF should implement .Net serialization on all its core types OR provide wrapper types that can be used where serialization is desired Option 3 - Wait for the next release of the library (currently slated for August) which brings new API enhancements which allow you to control the processing of SPARQL Results as they are produced.  This will reduce overhead as you don't have to have intermediate data structures you can just create a class that will process the results directly.  This may not be a viable solution for you though if you are tied to using .Net serialization If your preferred option is number 2 I'll add it to the todo list but can't promise it'll be done for the next release as I have plenty of other work to do for that release already Regards, Rob Vesse From: Rodrigo de Castro Reis [mailto:rod...@in...]

Assunto: [dotNetRDF-Develop] RES: SparqlResultSet and SparqlResult Since we have heavy performance requirements, I was trying to do a more directly serialization, with no conversion step. But converting it to DataTable will work. Regards, Rodrigo Reis | Product Owner - Research Team

Assunto: RE: [dotNetRDF-Develop] SparqlResultSet and SparqlResult SparqlResult implements IEnumerable so that you can directly enumerate over the columns it represents i.e. the set of key value pairs of variables and values.  This is useful since some queries will return result sets where different results contain different columns e.g. queries using UNION Yes SparqlResultSet is effectively a table so you enumerate over the SparqlResult instances which are the rows. If you need to serialize a SparqlResultSet you could cast it to a DataTable and serialize that instead?  SparqlResultSet defines an explicit cast to DataTable so that is doable.

Subject: [dotNetRDF-Develop] SparqlResultSet and SparqlResult Why class SparqlResult implements IEnumerable ? I think SparqlResult is one Row of the SparqlResultSet. I think SparqlResultSet as a Table and SparqlResult as a Row. Am I missing something? We´re providing an endpoint (web-service) for SPARQL queries and these classes are not serializable, that´s why we started questioning this. Regards,  Rodrigo Reis | Product Owner - Research Team
