Extracting Implement Link Identifier with the Reify Option

By default, implement links contain a standard information. The Reify option captures additional information to be used in the pattern.

Standard link statement

The regular Link statement is provided for compatibility purpose with subject, predicate, object, based on the RDF standard.

Reify link statement

The Reify option on a Link statement retrieves and captures additional RDF information, including the implement link identifier.

Here is an example of standard link statement:

To create a Reify link statement, you must add an intermediate pattern between the statement and the corresponding object (or subject in case of a reverse statement pattern):

Here is the procedure:

1. In a resource, add a statement with:
   • the Implement predicate
   • the Reify option
2. In the analysis type, create a resource with two statements:
   • object: which can capture the target of the link
   • identifier: to capture the value of the identifier attribute
