Need more flexibility in view model construction #9

Closed howarddierking closed 5 years ago

howarddierking commented 5 years ago

At present, the view model is constructed from a pre-defined set of terms (e.g. rdfs:label). I would like to be able to have additional relationships be added to the view model without requiring a code change (e.g. dataClassification or any other property metadata)

refactorings:

[x] collapse 2 -> 1 SPARQL query and reuse the same bindings even if you keep 2 passes
[x] isolate the execution of that query to a function separate from termGenerator#generateViewModel
[x] enable that function to be supplied to #generateViewModel
[x] change the logic to build the view model dynamically from the select block rather than hard-coded expected results
[x] write a builder that can take a SPARQL query as input and produce a conforming function as output

new plugin option: query

Note: as a part of making the view model construction more generic, I made a trade-off for simplicity and consistency in that all values are now sets rather than some be scalar values and others be sets.
