Hi Monika,
SPIN constraints are just part of an RDF graph, and therefore you can
potentially use the underlying Jena API to construct them. For example,
myClass.addProperty(SPIN.constraint, query);
would work if myClass points to the RDFS/OWL class. You can construct the SPIN
query object (RDF triples) from a Jena Query object using the class ARQ2SPIN,
and turn a query string into a Jena Query object using the Jena API or the
class ARQFactory of the SPIN API.
Having said this, unless you are forced to construct them programmatically, the
easiest way of creating SPIN constraints will be through a UI such as TopBraid
Composer (including Free Edition). Then save them to a file and load that file
like in the examples. If you need further help it might be helpful to hear what
you are specifically trying to achieve (that you cannot do with TBC).
Regards,
Holger
