Re: [RDF] adaptation methods in RDFTermFactory

Re: [RDF] adaptation methods in RDFTermFactory

You mean to add unwrap() to the implementation classes? So it would just do a cast? But we have an operator for that in Java... :-) If you mean to add it to RDFTermFactory as a different name/style for the many asSomething() methods, perhaps just as the name as()? That is how Jena does it, to

Re: [RDF] adaptation methods in RDFTermFactory?
