Hi there,

I got ja:data working but ja:graph alluded me. After some code digging, it seems it is a synonym for ja:defaultGraph but ja:defaultGraph goes to a full-blown model description.

Tests from files would be good and they can be used in documentation examples as well.

-----------------------
@prefix ja:    <http://jena.hpl.hp.com/2005/11/Assembler#> .

<test:simpleExample>  a  ja:MemoryDataset ;
        ja:data          <file:data.trig> ;
        ja:data          <file:data1.ttl> ;
        ja:graph        [ ja:data <file:data2.ttl> ] ;
        ja:graph
            [ ja:graphName  <http://example/g3> ;
              ja:data <file:data3.ttl> ] ;
        .
-----------------------

and I tried:

   DatasetFactory.assemble("assembler.ttl") ;

OK - wiring not in place yet
then

    Model m = RDFDataMgr.loadModel("assembler.ttl") ;
    Resource r = m.createResource("test:simpleExample") ;
    Dataset ds = (Dataset)new InMemDatasetAssembler().open(r) ;

I was expecting ja:graph to be a direct description - not needing a ja:MemoryModel description

ja:graph is needed to associate a name with a triples file.

I took a go at an implementation:
---------------------

 open( ...) {
   ...
   // Instead of: final Resource defaultGraphDef =

   multiValueResource(root, pGraph)
         .forEach(r->readGraphDesc(dataset, r));
   ...



}

// May need better checking for expected Resource/String things.
private void readGraphDesc(Dataset dataset, Resource r) {
    String gn = null ;
    if ( r.hasProperty(pGraphName)) {
        Resource rgn = r.getProperty(pGraphName).getResource() ;
        gn = rgn.getURI() ;
     }
     String dataFn = getAsStringValue(r, data) ;
     if ( gn == null )
         RDFDataMgr.read(dataset.getDefaultModel(), dataFn);
     else
         RDFDataMgr.read(dataset.getNamedModel(gn), dataFn);
    }
---------------------

Does this seem like a reasonable approach? It should allow users to
build up their data by whatever means they like, including using
inferencing models to generate assertions, then add them to the
in-memory container.

That's an interesting possibility that hadn't occurred to me.  It's a copy-in 
and the implications of that will need to be clear.

Just relying on ja:MemoryModel and ja:externalContent for the cases of loading files 
risks a load-copy though.  It could be "optimzied"

What about allowing files to be directly pointed to from the assembler for the 
ja:MemoryDataset?

Example:

-----------------------------------
@prefix ja:    <http://jena.hpl.hp.com/2005/11/Assembler#> .

<test:simpleExample>  a  ja:MemoryDataset ;
        ja:data          <file:///some/data.trig> ;
        ja:data          <file:///some/data.ttl> ;
        ja:graph         [ ja:data <file:///some/data2.ttl> ] ;
        ja:graph
             [ ja:graphName  <test:namedGraphExample> ;
               ja:data <file:///some/data3.ttl> ] .
-----------------------------------

The ability to load trig, NQuads in the dataset:

        ja:data          <file:///some/data.trig> ;

If a triples form is given, it loads the default graph. This is what Jena does 
already.  These are both RDFDataMgr.read(dataset, file) ;

The ja:graph for specific graphs:
Default graph (uniformity):

        ja:graph         [ ja:data <file:///some/data2.ttl> ] ;

and named graphs
        ja:graph
                [ ja:graphName  <test:namedGraphExample> ;
                  ja:data <file:///some/data3.ttl> ] .

I like the build-copy idea - these also add the core tasks of loading a file 
into a  dataset in a direct way.

Thoughts?

        Andy
