NAME
       RDF::Core::Function - a package of functions for query language.

DESCRIPTION
       When there is a function found while evaluating query, its parameters are evaluated and
       passed to RDF::Core::Function apropriate piece of code. The code reference is obtained in
       a hash returned by getFunctions() call. Each function accepts RDF::Core::Literal or
       RDF::Core::Resource objects as paramaters and returns a tuple of arrays (array of two
       array references). The first references to an array of function results - Resource or
       Literal objects, the second one references to an array of predicates that could be used
       instead of the function. This is not always applicable, so the second array can be empty.
       For example, a function call:

         someBag.member()

       returns ([uri://uri-of-the-first-member,....],[rdf:_1,...]).

       There is a special parameter - a subject parameter, which says that a function is at
       position of property. For example:

         subproperty(schema:SomeProperty)

       has no subject parameter defined and returns property names that are subproperties of
       given schema:SomeProperty.

         data:SomeObject.subproperty(schema:SomeProperty)

       has subject parameter data:SomeObject and return values of subproperties for subject.

   Interface
       o   new(%options)

           Available options are:

           o   Data

               RDF::Core::Model object that contains data to be queried.

           o   Schema

               RDF::Core::Model object that contains RDF schema.

           o   Factory

               RDF::Core::NodeFactory object, that produces resource and literal objects.

       o   getFunctions

           Returns a hash reference where each key is a name of a functions and value is a
           reference to an implementation code.

   Functions implemented
       o   subclass(X)

           Not defined subject parameter:

           Find all subclasses of X in Schema and return them if they have an instance in Data.

           Defined subject parameter:

           Result is not defined, dies.

       o   subproperty(X)

           Not defined subject parameter:

           Find all subproperties of X in Schema and return them if they occur in Data.

           Defined subject parameter:

           Find all subproperties of X in Schema and return their values for subject, if found.

       o   member()

           Not defined subject parameter:

           Result is not defined, dies.

           Defined subject parameter:

           Find all container members of subject.
